MX Linux Forum

Accidentally a double post.

MX 23.6 which has a 32-bit version will be supported till 2028, if by that time you don't get a computer that's capable of doing 64-bit (which is almost 25 years since the release of AMD 64-bit CPUs) then yes, MX is not for you.


This is not just about CPUs that don't support long mode. This is ...

FF is available for Raspberry Pi's (AArch64). https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/a ... 4-aarch64/

So?

Then why did you bring it up in the first place?

Did you even read what I wrote?

Sadly it seems that even the MX Linux community has been infiltrated.

On the FAQ page it clearly reads:


Lots of other distros are dropping their 32-bit versions. What about MX?

MX has no plans to discontinue 32-bit releases for the foreseeable future.


And still even developers here write ...

And you cannot even build Firefox on that Raspberry thing.

I mean even Raspberry Pi has a 8GB non-expensive machine, https://www.canakit.com/raspberry-pi-4-8gb.html Oops that was even the previous generation, this is the current one https://www.canakit.com/raspberry-pi-5-8gb.html

If you buy in this day an age a 4GB machine and you are not dying of hunger ...

OP's unrealistic claims also imply that Finland is somewhere on the tail end of the PC innovation pipeline and that 8 GB machines are somehow rare or unfathomably difficult to obtain.
...
Overall, OP is trying to paint the picture of Finnish electronics as bleak, outdated, and being left behind ...

Today I browsed online computer shops and noticed that most new laptops still have only 4 GB of RAM. Desktop computers usually have 8 GB.


Where were you looking? When I go to Amazon's web site, their $500 desktop towers/laptops start with 16GB of RAM. Under $300 will get you at least 8GB of ...

Out of curiosity I scrolled best-selling laptops on Newegg and 16G was the most common, with 32G or higher also popular. There were a few 8G, but nothing 4G.

I recommend looking at stores where most people (read: normies) actually would buy a computer.


but then uses that as a strawman to ...

Hello. I didn't know where to post this message. Most internet forums - especially Finnish ones - are full of snobs and cyberbullies that make it impossible to have a civilized discussion about this matter. I noticed that MX Linux still plans to support 32-bit targets into the future so I thought ...
