Linux 7.1 is finally ending support for Intel's 37-year-old 486 processor

Sorry to all six people still using one.

XDA
@nixCraft It feels like it came out yesterday
@nixCraft I get it, I'm old 😂

@brad @nixCraft

I really feld beeing old when i386 Distributions ended!

@nixCraft dang it. now i finally have to buy new hardware :/
@nixCraft the first computer I ever installed linux on was a pentium 1. Does that make me young now?
@nixCraft I remember a friend of mine being out-of-this-world excited when he ditched his old rig with a 386SX processor for a self-built system with a 486. What a time.
@jcnotwit @nixCraft actually i386 was my first Linux computer back in 90s. :-)
@jcnotwit @nixCraft
Maybe Linux Mint 19.3 was the last of that distro to support 32 bits, even on a Pentium.
@nixCraft A 486 running linux was my first web/mail server (on a nailed dial-up line, at that).
@nixCraft This sort of planned obsolescence can not stand! ;)
@nixCraft that reminds me how I did in fact install some Linux distro on a 486 DX4/100 back in the day 😅
