Linux@programming.dev•Someone ran a modern Linux OS on a 30-year-old CPU, and it's surprisingly usable
3·24 days agoa pentium with 128mb of ram?? sure, if you were richie rich…
back in 1994 ram was around $100 per mb, so those specs are INSANE! i don’t even know if they made motherboards that could hanlde that much ram back then.
My 386 in 1993 had 4mb of ram, and i was jealous of all the kids with shinny new 486s with their 8mb of ram
8mb of ram didn’t become the standard until win98 demanded that much

why not?? best buy sells steam decks and the ROG ally… costco sells garbage pre-builts, there is no reason the gabecube shouldn’t find retail shelf space, especially since xbox seems intent on exiting the console market.
the fact that it’s a linux box is only appealing to nerds, how may ppl actually ran linux on the ps3?? hint: a lot less people than were upset when sony took it away lol. gabecube being a pc is a bonus feature, will it be a big enough bonus feature to drive sales like bundling your fist dvd or bluray player?? probably not… but it will be enough to maybe sway a few people sitting on the fence?? maybe!
