    I had never heard of it, but checking it, I see MGLRU is enabled by default on my kernel (Mageia 10 with 6.18.xx). Are there distros where this is not enabled? Especially the ones …

    Those are facts. They do not mean that the people who ordered them today are wanting them today. If you need them in 10 years time, you need to order them today. It can easily chan…

    It's not just the applications, the installer doesn't even start up with 1GiB of memory. With 2GiB of memory it does start up. You could (well, I would :) ) blame it on the Gnome d…

    Did GrapheneOS even exist in 2012? There is history at play here, they are still building forward from the Nokia Linux phones. Also, what's up with all the sour grapes from people …

    Don't all cars in the Netherlands have at least a small checkup before inspection? I once had a Fiat Panda from 1984, 20 years old by then. It had a small checkup and maintenance, …
