And I don’t know how to stop, yesterday I stayed up late to install Debian Bookworm on my old intel mac.

how do you like it?

I will be little more than an enabler with this issue :)

I like it fine so far. I can no longer update my mac to the newest macOS, so sooner than later.

With each new distro, I feel like I’m using computers for the first time ever.

I get that same feeling of newness and exploration even on super old hardware

Is it nostalgia or was old hardware leaner and old software faster ?

Feels better optimized at least?

You’re right. We had limited memory and every megabyte counted.

The abundance of resources made us complacent as programmers I think.

Especially on the older stuff.
