I don't see any inconsistency. Universities still have multi-user unix servers for students in 2022 - at Bordeaux there's a few 64/128 thread ones with as many gigabytes of RAM, which leaves a lot of room for doing work during class. (And most likely they would be running some Debian LTS like Jessie or Stretch)
- kragen 4y agoSure, I'm using a multi-user Unix server right now in another window. The key point was that there was just one server for all the undergraduates. (And that they had to worry about a private install of GCC using up their disk quota.)
- jcelerier 4y ago.. the uni I'm involved in still has a 1gb quota per student ~ afaik which ... needs some contorsion to be able to fit a GCC build, for sure
- kragen 4y agoYeah, you can't build modern GCC inside the 1GB quota, but you can probably build it in /tmp or /var/tmp or /scratch or something. The actual built compiler is under 50 MB in GCC 8. And if you're really cramped on quota you can gzexe it, at the cost of painfully slow startup times.
