Nennt mich #altmodisch, aber ich sehne mich zurück in die gute alte Zeit, als ich mein #Linux noch aus #DOS heraus mit #loadlin gestartet habe. Dieser ganze neumodische #UEFI Krams ist mir viel zu #abstrakt! 😂

For fun and profit: after spotting the words #lilo and #loadlin in a #Linux #kernel build config help text I had to check how often the #LinuxKernel sources still refer to them…

@torepang You forgot some more #cursedness:

- compiled against #MSVC and #Microsoft #Libraries, so it requires #VisualStudio on #Windows to be built and requires all apps to be linked against these libraries.

- no user accounts, everything runs on root with no password.

- SMF (Solaris) as Init & Config System.

- Keyboard is hardcoded German Neo-2 Layout.

- uses #LILO / #LOADLIN on a #FAT12 Filesystem for boot, requiring a #MSDOS Boot Floppy!

- Only supports #NTFS as filesysten.

- All manpages are in Simplified Chinese.

- System clock is local time, not Unix Time.

- Only supports #ISA & #PCI, not #PCIe or #USB!

- curl points to wget, wget points to curl.

- emacs points to neovim, nvim points to emacs.

- forced UTF-32 encoding fir everything.

- Filenames, Directories & Path must only contain Emojis and . (or / for paths).

- Files are not overwritten but instead a new copy is made and the latest version is symlinked to the original filename - like in Files-11 for VAX/VMS.
