What’s so funny? This is how we played multiplayer Doom in 94.

We used to say 4GB is enough. And before that, a couple hundred MB. I’m staying ahead from now on, so I threw in 64GB. That oughtta last me for another 3/4 of a decade. I’m tired of doing the upgrade race for 30 years and want to be set for a while.
I can literally trace my current Ryzen PC’s lineage like the ship of Theseus to an Athlon system I built in 2002. A replacement GPU here. Replacement mobo there. CPU here, etc.

Never experienced Slackware so I can’t compare, sorry. When I got into Linux in like, 2002, I was using Mandrake before they died, and didn’t hear much of Slackware at the time.
I had a friend that was a couple years older that was running it on a home web server though. Back when people ran home web servers. This dude would sit there and use the keyboard the entire time even in OSes like Windows, he memorized every goddamn shortcut and macro that exists. Had a dusty mouse next to his system almost never being used. Probably just to satisfy the BIOS self test.
I use it because it feels like the most Linux-ey of Linuxes (Linuxii??). I don’t know how else to describe it. It’s like, no bullshit, just Linux. Here’s the Lego pieces, go have fun.
You misspelled Windows 3.11 for Workgroups.

Whoa, did I happen to miss something 30 years ago? What did they do?
The systemd debate is basically dead.
But the Super Nintendo vs. Sega Genesis/Megadrive debate rages on.
Yeah but with Steam Deck you’re not forced to use it. It’s an unlocked x86-64 compatible handheld PC. Install whatever you want.
No, it’s great. It means you can make it do anything. You misconstrue my meaning.
You don’t even have it game on it if you don’t want to. Use it as a server 😂
Other portable console makers: proprietary shit, locked down OSes, DRM embedded in the device at boot, custom/strange architectural choices, walled gardens
Valve: eh, put a fuckin’ normal ass gaming PC in a tiny box with joysticks and call it a day.
Exactly, that means it hasn’t infected my entire system and is constantly connected and phoning home about my computer usage and browsing habits all day. I can just play Skifree and Minesweeper and not worry about a damn thing.
It’s hard to overcome the Hurd problem though. Although it would be fascinating to see how it would diverge on the design of the Linux kernel. How much can you still act like Linux while not being Linux? Or would it just be a direct algorithmic translation, basically doing the same processes under the hood with the same architecture? I’m sure there’s more than a few things Linux is doing in C that the Rust compiler would frown upon.
Windows 3.11 that is. The last pure Windows there was.
I mean it’s also socialist, with how it’s developed and distributed. Despite capitalists making use of it too. It’s one of the few things in this world the people truly own collectively.
Debian isn’t a meme but it’s a good thing that you now have a lot of work to do.

What do we do, go back to ragecomics and lolcats? Or does 4chan own those too?
