25·
1 year agoI compiled my first Linux kernel back in the mid 90s, mostly on 386 and Dec Alpha hardware, interesting enough both were not that much slower than what you mentioned, I think the alpha (a measly 21066) took about 40 minutes. If you had asked me back then, I’d probably have imagined a minute or two, 30 years later. Guess it says something about how much larger the Linux kernel has become.
While that would be great, in reality because of YouTube’s recommendations, the ones most likely to watch this crap are the ones already drinking the kool-aid and thus upvoting.
