I'm not defending anything. I'm describing reality. Pre-Sandy Bridge hardware is hot garbage. Every time I have to deal with one of those systems with only USB 2.0 (or worse), I want to cry.
If people want to hang onto their K6, they're free to use whatever Linux distro still bothers supporting it, because even that is becoming more difficult nowadays.
There's no reason to use this stuff. It's crap. If you're satisfied with crap, that's more your problem than Microsoft's or anybody else's. I know I'd never subject anybody I love to that kind of PC hardware.
But yeah, shoot the messenger. What a fucking waste.
- anthk 2y agoWhatever. It's more wasteful to throw down a perfectly fine machine where with just an SSD and ZRAM can do wonders under a light distro, even have 10-20 tabs open under Ungoogled Chromium like nothing. It's not reality, but you, high end users, are pretty spoiled. With UBo, your statement about requiring 1-2GB of RAM to view a web page it's pretty much bullshit unless it's something like Google Earth 3D or similar. Because even Youtube gets cuts down on CPU and RAM usage with that and the parameter array from the file at git://bitreich.org/privacy-haters copied to /etc/profiled/chromium.sh. Windows users can just paste the "--arguments --foo --bar..." list to the Chromium/Chrome desktop shortcut's EXE path settings after the EXE path.
