I find it pretty hilarious that in 2023 this can still be a selling point.
Don't get me wrong I ran arch on a thinkpad for a long time so I can appreciate the statement, but now I just use a macbook and get my work done
- culopatin 3y agoThese are product for certain type of people. I could’ve been that person maybe 10 years ago, or whenever I thought compiling Gentoo on a Pentium 4 was worth my time. But as I got busier with life, that opinion changed. To have to pay for a product that “mostly” works? (That doesn’t really once you read more details about it)
- fragmede 3y agoHate to break it to you, but the Pentium 4 was released in the year 2000.
- CRConrad 3y agoYeah, that's probably why GP was compiling Gentoo on it ten years later: By then it had become a little too tired for Windows, but still quite viable with a crisp Linux distro on it. In case you thought you saw some discrepancy there, I think you're mistaken.
- sgarland 3y agoI only had a P3, which is why I thought it was a good use of my time to set up distcc with the other computer in the house, a Celeron 333. Funny how your priorities change over time.
