There is no old computer only bad os.
Except if you have an old NVIDIA card. The current kernel doesn’t support the old binary drivers anymore and the nouveau drivers are slow and buggy.
@Gulliver@lemmy.zip What does the French say?
windows is crashing linux is flowering, with linux there is no old pc only bad is.
Crashing? With the context of the pictures and similarities with Spanish and Catalan idioms I would say windows stands you up.
“planter” in french can mean three things : plant (a seed), crash (a system) or break up (with someone)
Hence the triple punYeah, the problem is that it’s had to convey the double meaning because “planter” is often used about an electronic device crashing, so it’s both windows crashed, and windows stood you up
Oh! I didn’t know that one hahahahha I love it. Here we say that windows hung itself, “se colgó”.

Unless it is a 486 and you want to stay current :P
I yearn for my old 486. the best rig I have ever owned.
Way way back. I was given a 486 (when pentium 90/100s were normal) at work to run the experimental internet connection on (the head of the company at the time didn’t think this internet fad would last). So I installed some magazine coverdisk linux and connected the office to the internet via a single modem.
I think it had a peak uptime of 550 days before it was replaced.
It’s OK, gramps, let’s get you back to bed.
Oh sweet child, you’ll never understand the pleasure of cutting motherboard PCB traces and replacing resistors to overclock a DX2 to 90MHz to play freely distributed CD-ROM cereal box AoE.
I already had a 233 MHz PII when AoE came out, so no.
Hey, it was really better times when you could have your computer in any colo(u)r you wanted, so long as it was beige.
Now you can have any colour you want, but they have mandatory LEDs embedded in every peripheral a d they no longer sell opaque cases.
You’re not kidding. I have no real interest in RGB. But it was cheaper to buy a case with a glass panel and the RGB ram of the same spec was cheaper than non RGB… I just made all the LEDs Borg green and left it that way.
