#i486 — Public Fediverse posts

@wyatt By 1997, most MS-DOS PCs still in use would've been i486 or newer and capable of running a game built with DJGPP and Allegro 3/4. DJGPP, a port of GCC to MS-DOS, breaks through the 640K limit with DPMI. It was good enough for the first Quake.

Linux 7.1 يصدر رسمياً: محرك NTFS جديد وتحسينات كبيرة لمعالجات Intel و AMD

أعلن لينوس تورفالدس عن الإصدار المستقر لنواة Linux 7.1، التي تأتي بعد دورة تطوير شهدت تحديات غير مسبوقة بسبب تقارير الذكاء الاصطناعي. النواة الجديدة تقدم محرك NTFS معاد كتابته بالكامل، وتفعيل تقنية FRED من Intel، وتحس...

Yes, I COULD upgrade the CPU, but I will NOT. Because that’s how this PC was specced!

I think now the PC is fully populated!

So what real effect does removing #i486 support do to the #Linux kernel? I mean, most current Linux distros don't even come in a #x86 32-bit version anymore.

Linuxista poistetaan tuki 80486 -suorittimille todennäköisesti jo kesän aikana

Tuki i486 -perheen suorittimille poistuu todennäköisesti Linux 7.1 kernelin päivityksen yhteydessä. Edellisen kerran suoritinarkkitehtuurin tuen poisto tapahtui vuonna 2012, kun Linuxin kernel lopetti 80386:n tukemisen.

Uh-nuuh! 🥺

Linux is axing my first "real" cpu and they're pro'lly right in doing so and it has absofuckinglutely no impact on my life whatsoever...

But it makes me feel saaad! 😥

Hype for the Future 139L → GNU Cross Compiler (GCC) System Architecture Matrix

BIOS Limit von 504 MB für Festplatten umgehen mit FAT32, dank EZ-Drive

Ältere 386/486 Mainboards bis 1994 erkennen im BIOS zwar vermeintlich mehr als 504 MB, aber letztendlich lässt sich eine Festplatte unter MS-DOS oder Windows 95/98 trotzdem nur mit maximal 504 MB ansprechen und partitionieren.

Um trotzdem mehr als dieses Limit nutzen zu können, gibt es diverse Lösungsmöglichkeiten mit Vor- und Nachteilen:

@OpenPA Yes! I just wish there had been more binaries supporting "green" hardware under NEXTSTEP. I've got a turbo slab and this Gecko, but more runs on the slab, ofc.

I started out with NEXTSTEP on an Intel 486 66 fabricated for the purpose of running the OS. That was a stacked 486, I can tell you, and with a rather interesting graphics chipset / interface, the Wingine Localbus.

Oh no! Linux drops support of 486 and the first Pentium processors!
