Kernel 7.1. series drops support for Intel 486DX (37 years olds)
Kernel 7.2. series drops support for AMD Elan32 (30 year old)

https://www.phoronix.com/news/AMD-Elan-Linux-Driver-Removal

>Supporting those vintage chips which don't have internal Time Stamp Counter "TSC" instruction are becoming a burden...

Support removed to streamline Linux kernel.

Among the CPUs impacted by this latest change is the

>AMD K5 as well as various Cyrix processor models (all Cyrix ever made).

The K5 was AMD's first entirely in-house designed processor that was first introduced in 1996 to counter the Intel Pentium CPU. But now its not useable in Linux.

>Tom's Hardware remembers the K5 "wasn't a very popular processor as it arrived late, then offered lackluster performance in the competitive environment it joined."

>It was cheap though.

it's usable on Linux, just use an older kernel, lol.

Linux is not much different from Windows these days. Some things just should’nt be (((updated))) but code niggers has to clout chase and be 5he smartest nigger in the room every year. It’s just free of charge thats it. Not actually free

Those CPUs are so outdated that they're basically useless nowadays. They're only useful if you want to run old media or text files disconnected from the internet. But Linux will still run them, not the latest's distros.

I bet you're not really a /g/ or a lainchan lurker.

Get an older kernel or if you're lazy get a distro with an older kernel.

mxlinux
antixlinux

Probably for the best. This shit doesn't belong in mainline. If you still have ancient garbage, fork an older version. I wish Linus was remove i686 as well.

>>534876045
so just ignore and use old version of linux
>>
>>534879089
Yeah, I'm rather sad about that. I have two perfectly good 500mhz boxes in my storage unit that I haven't cleaned out yet, and they are basically useless now because I can buy a minipc for $200 that outperforms them by at least 5X.

Then again, the 128MB of DRAM in them is probably worth half a million bucks right now.

because you can compile kernels earlier than xyz version for it? because it has 5 bytes of ram and there's pretty much no tasks left for it?

What sort of situation is that woman in, she seems somewhat malnourished, maybe psychotic, maybe drug addicted, maybe paranoid in some extreme emotional psychosis.

Honestly I do not use linux, I do not see a reason to use it if I had the technical knowledge I might do some stuff with the CMD; but I do not really know that much at the moment.

I only have one computer, if I had several that when things get fun.

So you're saying if I want to fry an egg, I'll have to stop updating my kernel? Don't make me buy a hot plate. I was using my Cyrix 6x86 to run Doom II and cook dinner.

Ursula wants our own digital sovereignty. Good to know, I am a citizen of Europe.

Did you see them forcing this small German region to use Linux in public administration because they want to create feedback to plug into Claude Code and create a super Linux that will surpass Microsoft ecosystem?
>>
>>534879089
how?
you need modern computer on idle spends more energy that 486 to properly emulate it than 486 itself

Thank you for posting. European computer science sovereignty is a great interest of politics academic circles. Ursula wants our own palantir.

If you're getting tired of talking to shadow bots and same-shit-spam agitprop algo bubble, you were on the right trail but you just needed a snap-out-of-it evoker word, anchoring word "Black Sun" - There. You've just broke out of the trance hypnosis and found your true self. Oops you're alone now, sorry but what do? you should just start building your own breakaway communities or if you cba you can join my SimpleX chat :

Nope. You’re the demoralization shill. I got bad news for you. It’s only going to get worse from now on. If you want actual anon discussion - talk about history & geopolitics, esoteric political pattens, 'insider here' posts, financial predictions, privacy tech stuff, non-pozzed philosophy and literture, while at the same time some banters and shitposts allowed, places like clearweb img boards are no longer some sort of isolated layer where we can laugh at normiefags together
