11:58:41 <Guest22> Hi, what recomend the distribution for old laptop on 32 bit cpu?
12:09:44 <ptribble> No current distribution will work with a 32-bit cpu
12:11:37 <ptribble> Tribblix m20 was the last Tribblix release to do so, but that hasn't seen any updates for about 5 years
12:13:03 <Guest22> Check Tribblix, thx. What about ild version of OpenIndiana? 2017 release?
12:20:12 <ptribble> Tribblix m20 was 2017, so it would have to be then or you might have to go back a year or two earlier.
12:30:32 <Reinhilde> Other UNIX OSes are also removing support for the 686.
12:54:30 <Woodstock> and then there's me, still running a 16bit unix just for fun...
12:54:43 <Woodstock> :)
13:02:22 <Reinhilde> owo
13:15:37 <denk> somebody uses zx80 with an old TV, just for fun
13:53:39 <nikolam> Woodstock, tried FUZIX, i was ported and working on RP2040 with 256KB. LAN working and with Ping, much buggy. 
13:54:17 <nikolam> it was ported. not by me, I just followed instructions. need to hardcode Ip address.. 
13:57:05 <psydroid> OpenBSD still supports 32-bit CPUs
14:03:30 <Guest22> ptribble: try m20.0 in VirtualBox, after install do 'zap refresh' & 'zap update-overlay -a' and zap can't download some pkgs frmo repo - base iso, unzip and more. Repo with pkgs for m20.0 is dead?
18:36:08 <gitomat> [illumos-gate] 16394 illumos should learn that the getopt(3C) family return int -- Richard Lowe <richlowe⊙rn>
18:53:41 <tsoome_> There is also this bit - we currently do build 32bit UEFI loader for systems starting up in 32-bit UEFI firmware, but are capable of switching to 64-bit mode. I'd actually also drop that support at some point in time....
19:32:04 <sjorge> Wait… why did 32-bit UEFI even exist?
19:32:31 <sjorge> Weren’t most CPU’s x86_64 when it got created?
19:33:18 <sjorge> I guess they technically still started in whatever legacy mode and made there way up to full 64-but mode very early in boot 🤔
19:47:07 <ptribble> https://www.theregister.com/2023/05/25/intel_proposes_dropping_16_bit_mode/
19:52:25 <alanc> the first release of UEFI by Intel was in 2004, when Intel was mostly still selling 32-bit CPUs and had just announced it's first 64-bit x86 systems
20:09:20 <jbk> i forget when intel's going to stop supporting the legacy bios boot (if not already).. i do wonder if after that what mode CPUs will be in after power on..
20:09:46 <jbk> e.g. do they still pretend they're an 8086 until you jump through all the hoops and such
20:20:38 <sommerfeld> straight to 64-bit after reset.   https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/technical/envisioning-future-simplified-architecture.html
