Digging into the talk page of the article on the FAT filesystem and Linux, one finds that, back in 2009, #Wikipedia people thought the same thing. (-:

It was past tense even then. Linux 2.6 had come out some 6 years beforehand.

Amusingly, the Linux Documentation Project has a UMSDOS how-to written in the present tense that has not been updated since 2001.

> How do you scroll up in the console???

Speaking of which:

#Linux dropped the #scrollback mechanism from its kernel #VirtualTerminals entirely, in version 5.9, released in September 2020.

The "Linux keyboard and console HOWTO" in the meanwhile is dated 1998.

There are quite a number of outdated StackExchange answers that haven't been corrected for the new reality, too. So it's not solely the #LinuxDocumentationProject that was written "weeks ago". (-:

How do I increase terminal scrollback buffer size?

I'm using CentOS 5.4 servers installed in a VMWare virtual machine with no X.Org server installed, so all access is via command line and the Linux terminal. I use Shift + Page Up to view the scroll...

You're a bit optimistic about #Linux doco, there, by the way. Weeks! (-:

Many how-tos and such from the #LinuxDocumentationProject notoriously date from the 1990s and were last updated two decades ago.

One wouldn't know from TLDP about the Bourne Again to Almquist shell switchover, for instance. And there's PalmOS and Psion as hardware platforms, but no #RaspberryPi.
