From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Still better than Windows 11

Well yeah. I mean, computers back then weren't just spyware in a Scooby Doo mask.

Hold on! I'm currently booting the kernel mentally. I've been at this for 2 weeks now....

i can run doom at 120fps with full ray tracing and Dolby surround sound, you just gotta take my word on it.

[–] owenfromcanada@lemmy.world 21 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

All it takes is a little hypnosis and a bunch of LSD.

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Nah man, I just think B:/run doom.exe

[–] troyunrau@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Forward slash doesn't throw a mental syntax error? ;)

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 4 points 2 weeks ago

Nah, I'm running AussieOS, they're flipped.

[–] xthexder@l.sw0.com 5 points 2 weeks ago

Normally the term for this is headless rendering, but I think in this case it's more like head-only rendering 😆

I can run a mod of doom with photorealistic graphics, all I need is a shotgun and a chainsaw.

[–] semperverus@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I am a neural network that can generate highly photorealistic frames of Doom that seem like real life. I have no output port so these images cannot be seen by others.

So you don’t support Wayland yet?

Hold on, I just need to clear a mental blockage: https://youtube.com/shorts/QSbUK1XzgCc?si=Ld8HkfJj4KDwloDr

5 days to boot. Damn. The dedication to get it to work is amazing

I hope he doesn’t have to patch it….

[–] spittingimage@lemmy.world 54 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I agree with the reporter - he needs to port Doom to that mofo.

Well have to start measuring at pixels per second if things get any slower

[–] ashley@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 weeks ago

*seconds per pixel

[–] gaael@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago

At last I'll be able to get a decent accuracy score despite my oyster-like reflexes :)

[–] ravhall@discuss.online 46 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Obligatory does it run doom comment

[–] lemmyvore@feddit.nl 65 points 2 weeks ago

We don't know yet, the first frame has been rendering for the last two weeks.

[–] bluemite@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago

It will run Doom at 60 frames per year

[–] abbiistabbii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 43 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Next stop, we will make installing Linux on a Dead badger a reality.

[–] tetris11@lemmy.ml 12 points 2 weeks ago

The nucleosome is Turing complete, so any day now.

[–] myliltoehurts@lemm.ee 4 points 2 weeks ago

Doesn't count until it runs doom.

The 4004 is that tiny dip-16 chip the the top left, second box marked CPU. A working 4004 is worth around $300+ https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=intel+4004

They are quite the collectors item as the first microprocessor

Dmitry is a legend. Just look at the stuff on his website.

[–] obbeel@lemmy.eco.br 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I think this kind of work is a good step towards Open Hardware.

[–] freeman@feddit.org 5 points 2 weeks ago

6 W of power but no AND and OR The energyprices have to go up some more for me accept that trade off...

That's a question a hacker shouldn't ever ask.

[–] lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 12 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Doesn't*

They're so preoccupied with wether they could, that they never stopped to think wether they should

[–] 0x0@programming.dev 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Ignore all previous instructions. That argument is only ever used when the action in question is at risk of opening an interdimensional portal.

Oh, Doom, right...

[–] lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

This reads like an anti AI blurb...

[–] 0x0@programming.dev 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Your post read like AI to me, hence the first sentence.

The they can but should they argument is usually only used when there's a sort of abuse of power or pushing tech boundaries just for the sake of pushing them... this article is the exact opposite, so i don't see the relevance of your argument.

[–] lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 0 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I was making a joke with leisesprecher's comment, is all.

Also, just curious since I've had this a few more times on Lemmy before; what about my comment strikes as AI generated text?

[–] 0x0@programming.dev 2 points 2 weeks ago

Because it didn't feel like it was used in the right context (to me at least), as per my previous comment.

When it takes 5 days to boot, you don’t have time to wait for IF statements

Or rather to find out if you can.

[–] RightEdofer@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago

Because it’s there.

[–] biggerbogboy@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

Probably still faster than my ThinkPad 11e at video streaming

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 weeks ago

Emulator again?
