funny thing about nostalgia is how everyone ignores how painfully slow everything was

Unless you enjoy fixing it up, use whatever more comfortable to you.

If I didn't know how to use it correctly.

For me, Linux is a vey big unfinished construction site of an OS and I'm not gonna spend my free time every day trying to fix it

The other day I received an email from such standardization body, mentioning anecdotal evidence that someone in our circles brought an MS-DOS 5.0 laptop to a conference... How much I'd give to see that thing in person!

That's the real challenge, isn't it? Can it handle more than 4GB memory, can it handle SSE2, can it handle.. modernity?

But now I'm actually thinking about using it on modern hardware.

On XP nothing works.

Everything just works.

Geeks Chat

Because Linux just works.

Help me choose a studio type microphone to record vocals. Just Youtube/podcast and some rapping. ChatGPT says real equipment is tens of thousands. So that's out. For like $500 or less GPT suggested some but idk what i'm doing: Lewitt LCT 440 PURE, sE2200, WA-47 Jr, NT1, and AT4040 🤔

Like, use whatever more beneficial to you.

I'd just use some atomic/immutable OS and call it quits.

Yknow, I have two friends that switched to linux within the last year, and both of them, 80% of the time we wanna play something or just hang out in a discord group call, they have to fix a random audio driver or mic input or, for gaming, sudden frame drops to below 20fps that I never experience in the same game and whatnot

Conversely, as for the ancient hardware... What about the CCFL backlight, what about the IDE controller, what about that RAM, can it cache whatever modern applications throw at it? And can you tmpfs your way out of it all?

Geeks Chat

04 Jul 2025 08:46

Not all of those preconfigured ISOs.

Geeks Chat

04 Jul 2025 08:45

I'm just giggling here as I come back from standardization bodies, so as good a reason as any! 🤭

Don't believe the lies.

Geeks Chat

04 Jul 2025 08:43

Out of curiosity, why though? Just nostalgia, or is there more to it?

Geeks Chat

I installed Windows Server 2003.

Yeah, up-to-date clients just hide the service message for UX reasons... Bots and userbots can still see it though, the service message itself still exists
