Managed a park of HPUX, AIX, IRIX, Solaris at the time, it was nice. Yeah a microkernel could be cool, but we have FreeRTOS for embedded now, it’s not bad. I’m more into developing now

nah, in France, they were big supporter of HP-UX
Wow, same, went to uni from 1990 to 1996, everything was HP-UX, so I installed Linux on my 386 then 486 at the time, easier to do the homework, transferred on floppy. Always had a Linux partition, of course DOS/Windows was used for gaming, Linux for tinkering and dev. I don’t game for years so I’m Linux 100% for years now. I have a windows XP in QEMU for AVRStudio, damn thing cannot make it works in wine because of serial ports.
Pretty sure AntiX would work on this
not this P2, I think OP is talking about the P2 from 1997, I had a P2 266MHz and was running it at 300 (75x4), 32MB of RAM, 4GB HD, it was the shit in 97
favorite? I like BeOS it was so nice!!
In what country? USA? Canada? France?
oh, all of them! right!
I think it works here between my MX Linux and a Dell 4K display, via HDMI

I’m like you, started Linux with v0.99, downloading on floppies at university, installing on 486, installing X11, drivers, etc. It was fun at the beginning, I was young, had time, I was a “LFS” guy, always recompiling everything and all, and it was time consuming, and boring, and slow at the time!!! Then I basically use Debian (Ubuntu, Mint, now MX for 6 years at least) for 20 years… it works, I’m ok with it.
Yes I tried Arch, the low level install, it reminded me of my LFS time, but now I’m an old coot and I don’t have time for this shit 😆
Exactly the same in Canada, the black metal bar stool, light, fixture, black brick, wood, etc. It is a starter pack for burger restaurant.
Imagine in Canada, where real news media like TV, newspaper, etc, cannot be used by Meta (FB, IG, etc). So in a Canadian facebook feed, you only have conspiracy and right-wing false info, that’s it. For the people who took their info from FB, they are flooded by fake/alarming news.
true, a simple:
sudo nala install
I have MX (Debian based), I had kind of the same problem, my DELL monitor didn’t sleep. To fix it, I had to go in the monitor settings and set the input mode to “HDMI1” instead of Auto. It looks like the auto mode was maybe sending message or something that prevented it from sleeping.
Always has been, e.g. forums from last century like slashdot.org is US centric since 25+ years even if it’s open to the world, like usenet was. Every forum using english language have a majority of users from the US, talking about US “celebrities” and US politics.
I also need some old app working only in Windows, I spent hours on wine trying to make them work, but no. So in the end, I installed Linux only, then set up a simple QEMU of WinXP SP3 image, just to install those programs (they need serial ports, and I can redirect the ttyUSB0 to QEMU as a COM1) and that’s it, no more *real windows.
you shout in COBOL ;-)
I learnt COBOL (I’m old) it’s a very easy language, you basically talk, for instance to do c=a*b you write:
MULTIPLY A TO B GIVING C
and everything is tabbed, but in a good editor like emacs, it’s done automatically pretty well.
It’s about everywhere, also in USA, when a newly elected official having a net worth of nothing significant, earn, let’s say, 200k per year, but after 5 years has a net worth of 10 millions ?!?
Quickly came to write “AWK!!!” but yeah… you don’t want its superiority… 😜
