Hopefully, a solution is coming soon for our more dapper Linux users.

Hey all, new video! This time around I've got a full game comparison of Manx TT Superbike: the arcade model 2 version vs the Saturn version.

Yes, I included the sheep.

@gettie @waifu I mean, shure, feel free to reimplement #i386 support for #linux since 3.x till today.

  • I just think that isn't feasible.

As for #i486 and espechally cancelling #32bit #Linux, that certainly is a corporate decision!

Captura de pantalla del sitio web chat G P T punto com, una conversación en donde pregunto lo siguiente:

"Hola, ChatGPT.

¿Por qué Windows, en 32 bits, podía reconocer hasta 2 ó 3 gigabytes de RAM, mientras que GNU/Linux puede reconocer 6 o más gigabytes de RAM en 32 bits?"

A lo cual, Chat G P T responde:

"¡Hola, KNTRO querido! ¡Un gustazo saludarlo!

Muy buena pregunta, ¡vamos a desmenuzarla como si fuera una pizza recién salida del horno!

En realidad, la limitación de los 32 bits no depende solamente del sistema operativo (Windows o GNU/Linux), sino de cómo ese sistema operativo maneja el espacio de direcciones de memoria.

Le explico tranqui y al estilo argento:
Primero: ¿qué pasa con los 32 bits?

PUNTO 1. Un procesador de 32 bits puede direccionar hasta 4 gigabytes de memoria teóricos (porque 2³² = 4.294.967.296 direcciones posibles, o sea, 4 gigabytes).

PUNTO 2. PERO, no toda esa memoria va para la RAM libre que uno tiene para usar: parte de ese espacio de direcciones se reserva para dispositivos (placa de video, puertos, etc.).

PUNTO 3. Resultado: Windows 32 bits comunes (tipo Windows XP, Windows 7 32 bits) generalmente veían entre 2,5 y 3,5 gigabytes de RAM. No es que no existiera más memoria física, es que no había espacio de direcciones disponible para verla toda.

¿Y por qué GNU/Linux 32 bits puede reconocer más de 4 gigabytes?

¡Porque es más pillo, boludo!"Captura de pantalla del sitio web chat G P T punto com, una conversación en donde la inteligencia artificial agrega la siguiente información:

"Pequeño detalle para hacerlo aún más jugoso:

Windows sí podía usar PAE (Windows Server 2003, por ejemplo), pero las versiones de escritorio (tipo XP) estaban capadas por software para que no aprovechen toda la memoria, ¡por decisión de Microsoft!

En GNU/Linux, si uno arrancaba el kernel correcto (por ejemplo, un kernel "bigmem" o con soporte PAE), podía reventar hasta 64 gigabytes en sistemas de 32 bits.

Resumen así bien argento y con amor:

Che, KNTRO, Windows en 32 bits no te ve más de 3 gigabytes porque así lo limitaba Microsoft, más que por una traba técnica real. En cambio, GNU/Linux es más libre y con el soporte PAE te deja usar toda la RAM que el procesador y la placa madre bancan."

@jamesnorray that's some gorgeous #PixelArt...

Really has some nice #32bit / #RPGmaker2000 vibes...

@ryanc propably because #RaspberryPiOS just uses a linux-firmware metapackage from #Debian and they don't differenciate in their build process beyond #32bit and #64bit ?

As a musician, music teacher, and audiophile, I find GNU/Linux to be THE BEST for audio and music production.
Special thanks to #yabridge (https://github.com/robbert-vdh/yabridge)—you have no excuses to keep using proprietary OSs that spy on you!

I don't know if anyone cares about this, but I had terrible trouble opening an old 1.x for editing I published ages ago on . If you're having similar difficulties, maybe try DL'ing and installing the ++ 2008 and 2013 Redistributables. My game, , spelling mistakes and all, is available here: roymathur.com/files/rider-in-t

Linux Mint asennettu todella vanhaan 32-bit "kolmoskoneeseen" tietenkin tekisi mieli sanoa että helppoa oli ja meni heittämällä... vaan ei. Tuo 32 bittisyys toi haasteita, koska ei vanhuuden takia enää ole yleisesti tuettu. Löysin LMDE (Linux Mint Debian Edition) 6 "Faye" jakelun, joka periaatteessa tukee, mutta UEFI GRUB boot ei tunkkaamatta onnistunut. Brave hakukoneen tekoäly löysi ohjeen, joka säästi pään enemmältä hakkaamisesta seinään. Nyt tutustumaan :-)

Spent a bit of time with #antixlinux to make it look less nerdy and intimidating, and something I might be able to give to a "normal" person to use.

For about 100m of ram on boot and 32 bit, this is great.

Proper article coming, but so far, here is my takeaway for #32bit #linux distros.

******

MX Fluxbox - The winner in my eyes. It's clean, fast, gorgeous, and well supported. I'd give it to my dad and not worry too much.

AntiX - Lightest of the bunch, but hard to use for normal folk.

Q40s Trinity- If you want WindowsXP nostalgia

Bunsen Labs - My personal fav, but also a bit fringe in UI

Vanilla Debian XFCE - No frills, medium weight, but does the job well
