There is not 24 hours without this meme being reposted somewhere on the Internet

I dunno, my 386 isn't supported anymore

[-] henfredemars@infosec.pub 27 points 2 weeks ago

There would be people on Lemmy still using a 386. Of course.

I mean, if it's not dead yet...

It's completely supported, you just have to recompile the colonel.

EDIT: apparently they completely removed 386 support as of 3.8,so it isn't as simple as setting some flags and recompiling but theoretically you could still patch it back in and I think there is even a fork that still maintains 386 support.

I wish this were true. a lot of my older hardware is no longer supported by new kernels.

32bit left in the shadow rhelm of Ubuntu 14.10

[-] chronicledmonocle@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Just because Ubuntu left it behind doesn't mean there aren't distros still supporting 32 bit.

However, anything still running x86 without x86_64 support is hella old at this point.

I'm not even talking about 64-bit systems!

Have you tried Tiny Core Linux? It supports a 486DX, but they recommend a Pentium 2. I think the biggest issue you will have is finding programs that will run on such old hardware.

I'm not talking about ancient hardware here

[-] UltraBlack@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

The windows requirements are repeated twice, so it can't be that bad!!

Plus they like pickles, apparently.

Where do you even get a penguin?

[-] Pat@feddit.nu 2 points 2 weeks ago

You could run Tiny Core off a brick.
