Gary was robbed. RIP.

Interesting. Reminds me of PC/IX, and it probably similarly doesn’t even enter pm, judging from it running also on an 8086.

286 Protected Mode is very different from 386 PM and there is no way Linux will would run on it.

I run xorg on my desktops (especially my video transfer/editing workstation) and sway on my laptop. Wayland still has some seemingly intractable bugs and annoyances, if it even supports what you are trying to accomplish. I run it in hopes of helping it improve, but it’s far from mature.

It seems every new shiny technology today tries its darndest to short-circuit 40+ years of advances in OS virtual memory design. Between Electron and Docker, the entire idea of loading an image into memory once and sharing its pages among hundreds of processes is basically dead. But at least there’s lower support burden!!!1111
