Why isn't kernel nostalgia a thing? There is nostalgia

>>58401239
Because tech nostalgia is generally retarded, and only when reminiscing about stuff from your lost childhood (like programming BASIC on your C64 or messing around with your father's PDP-7) is okay.

Anything released this side of 2000 is not old enough yet.

Because you don't interact with the kernel directly, your applications and hardware do.

For you.

>>58401271

That's false because Linux has a monolithic kernel, you fucking faggot nigger.

Most users do not interact with the kernel in a manner significant enough for them to be able to notice the difference between one version and the next.

>>58401277
How does the kernel being monolithic mean you interact with it?

Linux doesn't really suffer from the same feature creep, so there's little incentive to use an older kernel.

They did remove code that enabled use of the oldest 386es, but you're looking at a 25 year old machine.

Google is your friend faggot.

>>58401314
So you're just some retard spouting retarded drivel. Got it.

>>58401314
lmao

>>58401333
No I'm actually taking a course on it right now, you pleb.

Suck my cock.

>>58401239
Because Linux get better every time. Unlike windows...

>>58401239
Because linux actually gets better over time

>>58401239
Most of the nostalgia is for the equivalent of the DE, not the kernel.

>>58401239
Because the kernel improves, unlike winshit.

>>58403436
This. The retarded vaporwave faux nostalgia for example is purely for looks, tech nostalgia in general is almost always for design, not functionality.

>>58401239
>no nostalgia for 2.6.32 and GNOME 2
what earth are you living on?

>>58401239
Implying that nostalgia isn't the reason Trinity/Mate exist

>>58401239
>nostalgia for XP
w2k, if anything. XP was shit tier.

>>58404506
>tech nostalgia in general is almost always for design, not functionality.
>>58404611
>GNOME 2
but nostalgia for GNOME 2 is nostalgia for functionality

>>58401239
in windows, the release determines both the userspace and the kernel
on linux, the userspace and kernel don't correspond, I can run whichever version of a window manager/desktop environment I'd like
