They’re not going to fall to the wayside, we’re eventually getting Rust support on these.
It’s just a bit annoying that Rust proponents are being so pushy in some cases as if Rust was the solution to everything.

- jrmg 11mo agoCan you actually install Debian on an Amiga - or other 68k system - now? I’ve been searching around the web and I haven’t found much evidence that you can. This is not intended to bash you or anyone else who’s working on it - I think it’s a cool project (I have in the recent past got an 86duino ZERO to run Gentoo, just to see if an obscure old-ish piece of hardware can be useful with modern Linux on it - and it can). I do understand the reason a project like Debian might not want to have to spend resources even just to make it easier to do though.
- bhaak 11mo agoHere is a recent blog post where somebody tried to install Debian on an Amiga 4000 with an 68040 running at 25 MHz. https://sandervanderburg.blogspot.com/2025/01/running-linux-on-my-amiga-4000.html https://sandervanderburg.blogspot.com/2025/01/running-linux-... I didn't find what Debian version they tried but I think it's implied it's a recent version. They ran into memory issues. They had only 48MB while the recommendations are to use 64MB. It did boot though until it threw errors because of memory constraints. They got a working system by trying Debian 3.1 though.
