anyone here know how to use "linux"

ah, it's an Intel Pentium E5800 "wolfdale" processor, so either I am mistaken about it being a Core 2 Duo or it is one and the branding is just confusing, but either way wikipedia dates this somewhere between 2008 and 2012. I would have purchased this either late 2011 or 2012 because I remember buying it to celebrate getting a job at Creative Commons
ok https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfdale_(microprocessor) has a handy little chart that explains intel's branding for this processor generation. the E5800 was sold as a "pentium" and not a "core 2 duo", so this is actually a *lower end* processor than I thought đ

@aeva says here it's a Pentium https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfdale_(microprocessor)#Wolfdale-3M
@ruojake I just found that as well XD

I need to find a more dog shit computer to figure out where exactly the perf wall is. Maybe this means there's a riscv port in mollytime's future.

@aeva too great for a Celeron, too flawed to join the Cores 2 Duo, forever cursed

@aeva Currently the "dogshit wall" is #i486SX because #Linux dropped support for #i386 with Versions
3.4.99&3.6.9respectably, tho most people would say anything below #amd64 w/ #SSE2 (or #i686) is out of #mainstream support already, with #RHEL6 being EoL'd & #Debian being the last major distros offering #32bit support. -

@aeva
```
emerge -avt gentoo-sources
eselect kernel list
eselect kernel set <n>
genkernel all
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
```it's something like this, I think

@ki ah that fixed it, thanks!

i'm trying and failing to find a screenshot of the part of chrono trigger where Lucca says to Marle "Machines aren't capable of evil... humans make them that way", but it turns out there's a lot of fan art of that scene, which is nice.
anyways, computers aren't slow... it's programmers that make them that way

@pupxel so, no, but I have been pondering on and off whether or not it might be worth it to try to port mollytime to dreamcast

@aeva Sometimes the lack of programmers make them slow.
As in: I don't have the time to optimise because I already have to do all the work in the first place

@pupxel probably not XD

@shinmera look as long as your not dumping everything inside react/electron you're probably on the good side of the curve
