An old nokia!? Such scale of firepower is considered a war crime!

Whoa, take a deep breath, relax a bit. Modern life can get us constantly on our nerves, I understand it, but let’s not take it out on each other.

About the machine, it’s a very comfortable one to do writing work, and still works fine, so why not use it? Also, I’m from a “global south” country, and I can’t afford to replace stuff when I still have something in working conditions. Dumpsters around here don’t contain working electronic devices, by the way.

I didn’t comment like complaining in a demanding way, like thinking that mozilla devs would have to maintain it for me. I just commented to express myself and show that there are real people still using 32-bit software around the world

It’s a 64-bit cpu. From personal experience, using 32 bit firefox, I can run a bit more tabs. It’s enough for my use case, which is editing text documents and doing a bit of online research while in bed. I use it as an auxiliary device and sync my files using syncthing.

It’s a bay trail series, it’s 64-bit. I’m running mx linux and only installed the 32-bit firefox using multiarch, because the difference is pretty noticeable

Running 32-bit firefox is the only viable way to use my mini laptop that has only 2gb of ram :(

but… why?

Linux mint for my brother-in-law, and debian for my professor, because he said he has an aversion to stuff changing in his computer and wanted something that stayed almost the same in 10 or 20 or years from now and didn’t fail him. He seemed enthusiastic with the concept of a distro that focuses on stability and wanted it, even if I said that it’s a bit harder to use and recommended linux mint.

I think the reason is much simpler. Browsers on chromeos use a different user agent than when running on linux distros and then it gets counted as a separate category. I don’t know for the first source linked, but statcounter uses data from user agent strings.

Installed linux for my brother-in-law and for a professor last month. Both liked it and are probably going to use it insted of moving to win11. I’m doing my part.

That’s what I love about linux! Instead of bloat, we get awesome optimizations like this here and there.

Those are almost exactly my phone’s specs >.<

At least it was really cheap, which the pinephone wasn’t

Nice to see the word unprecedented before some good news!
