What is “Reagan era”?
Something OP put in the title as clickbait and it’s not even accurate. Ronald Reagan went out of office in 1989 while the video clearly states the OS used needs at least an Intel Pentium processor which was released in 1993.
The term of a US president in the early 1980s.
Thanks. Appearantly time is measured by a single countries presidents now :/
should we use world presidents instead?
How about using years? “This OS runs on 80s hardware” is still impressive, understandable, and wrong.
nah, let’s use average lobster life since epoch. That would date ~0.5 lobster lives which is easy to read and understandable by everyone
But that’s not important right now.
I mean, LOAF was a thing (Linux on a Floppy) that had basic functionality even as most distros were downloaded or on CD. I can’t imagine anyone still develops it, though.
For anybody else curious, he’s using KalibriOS.
It’s an open source, ultra-lightweight os that is not a fork of Linux… I think.
Neat project though!
