Re: [Off-Topic] Rant: Most distro system requirements are ridiculous
What distro can be run on a system without the CMOV instruction like the one you're using? Slackware, of course :P expecting a modern OS to cater to that niche for a normal use is a little much. Perhaps, but that's not the point here. The arch is called "i386", so one would expect it to r...

Re: [Off-Topic] Rant: Most distro system requirements are ridiculous
Why not just call it "i686" if it can't run on an actual 80386 Probably because changing the name of the architecture target is a PITA from an organisational/tooling POV. Personally I find the recent change to -march=i686 rather annoying, as there are still machines around that would be q...

[Off-Topic] Rant: Most distro system requirements are ridiculous
Many of you have probably heard about openSUSE and RHEL's switch to the x86-64-v2 requirement, but they still state that an "2,0 GHz Dual-core 64-bit CPU" is the requirement. That's false advertising!, they are all talking about bits but even though the damn laptop have 64 bits AND an Dual...

Re: Why do you use debian?
Stable. Good for gaming, large library of games and other software. Easy to install, easy to manage, and like the only os that does not force wayland onto you
