Which is remarkable, because #Linux dropped support for the 68020's #x86 contemporaries, the 386 and 486, years ago.

The #kernel devs were getting sick of working around the 386's multi-core-related shortcomings git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/k… and the 486's lack of a cycle counter and 64-bit compare-and-swap instruction. lore.kernel.org/lkml/202504250…

I guess it speaks to the skill of #Motorola engineers that their 680x0 design never provoked such frustration among the #Linux crew.

It's important to fully patch a new Operating System before you start playing with the OS while being online.

Due to the nature of the distribution your initial patch will be significantly larger than one of standard MX Linux don't be alarmed Kali has a beautiful suite of forensic software, which naturally takes space and also needs to be patched

I love 💕 how Mata Kali is configured by default;

zsh
XCFE
custom Dark Theme
light footprint

Since the powerful zsh is the default shell evironment you will fly over the keyboard, esp as a touch typist with all ten fingers

This is where a nice part of the sequence progresses;

That can be Grub Lilo or even your own self coded loader

Nvidia greift tief in die Tasche und schnappt sich ein Stück von Intel. 💰💰💰 Doch das ist nur die eine Hälfte der Neuigkeit – parallel kündigten beide Unternehmen eine enge technische Zusammenarbeit an, die Intels Position im CPU-Markt wie auch im Geschäftskundenbereich stärken könnte.

I can literally use any peripheral that is recognized by X86 Linux kernel on the ARM Linux kernel.

In this example on Audio Interface is being tested on the SBC
