Notorious b.s.d. posted:

historically linux has required gobs more RAM than windows, back when RAM was expensive. it also used to have the practical requirement of SCSI to get reasonable performance and bug-free operation. ide "worked" but holy poo poo so many buggy controllers out there

IDE was basically the winmodem of drive connectors so burning a cd in the 90s would just make a coaster if you moved the mouse cursor around at the same time

penus was doing you a favor

MATE is literally the only worthwhile linux desktop

gnome2 is basically the soviet union in that it never should have stopped being a thing and everyone who depended on it got hosed over when it vanished
