The internet is srs bzns.
I prefer to put my swap partition on CD-RW.
That way you’ll know you’ve run out of physical memory when the cd-rom starts spinning up.
I hate that I kind of like this point…
Linux doesn’t wait for you to be out of memory to swap-out pages.
I wonder if anyone has actually managed to do this
someone put swap on google drive
Personally enjoy my swap on an iPod
Yeah, never had a problem with incompatible hardware on Linux.
No siree, not a once!
Such an up and down though. I have an ancient epson scanner that cannot be used on modern windows, but I just installed the driver on linux and everything has been amazing.
Like pre-usb ancient or what?
Not quite that old, it is connectet via USB-B. Windows drivers only exist for 32 Bit systems, on linux the drrivers come in a deb package that works on modern installations.
Not true. For modern Linux you need a processor with a memory controller and 8mb of ram. If also need to be a processor from the 21 century.
Openwrt beg to differ, https://popovicu.com/posts/789-kb-linux-without-mmu-riscv/ here’s guide for mmu less Linux and here’s how it runs doom https://hackaday.com/2022/12/07/a-tiny-risc-v-emulator-runs-linux-with-no-mmu-and-yes-it-runs-doom/
I recently installed openwrt in a banana pi, and it’s so cool to see this distro being mentioned around. It’s definitely a different linux experience, even after using linux for more than a decade.
optional CPU?
Well, there are people running Linux in all manner of ways, like VRChat shaders.
