The only one I came across was Debian. The machine itself was 64-bit but 
our legacy code was 32-bit, as was Esri's ArcObjects. I think Ubuntu 18.04 
was the last release where you had a prayer of finding 32-bit Motif 
libraries and others. It's all fine to pass the 32-bit flag to gcc but if 
you can't link the libs you're done.

openSUSE Tumbleweed still has a 32 bit version, I believe.

So it does. I don't know if I'd found it or if Debian was the first to 
turn up and I used it. I probably still would have went with Debian. For a 
production machine old, slow, stick-in-the-mud is good versus a rolling 
distribution.

Only if you're prepared to handroll backports etc. Realistically, linux is
also 5-7 years. Most LTS is 5 years. 

The hardest thing is trying to keep gcc up to date. At some point too many
glibc dependencies break and you can't compile any new kernel updates.

No, the idea is that you upgrade the system. Thus you continue using 
Linux for many years on the same machine.

For example, on openSUSE Leap the 15.x series started with 15.0 on 
2018-05, and 15.6 was released on 2024-06. Users are expected to update 
to each minor version as they are released. Major version 16.0 is 
expected by next November. There are no hard hardware requirements to 
upgrade, like having TPM, but a 32 bit CPU is not supported, and 
possibly some low end CPUs.

It works the way the platform owner wants it to work. And they have a 
particularly slick brainw^H^H^H^H^H^Hmarketing organization to “persuade” 
customers to accept that they want it to work that way as well.

I agree. Plus it also counts as a religion, so you don't have to waste

Windows Home preinstalled on volume-produced gear is virtually free,
self-installed Linux completely free, but yes that "$600" you cite
isn't cheap for the device it buys.  That OS upgrades are free is just
to incentivize buying/using an Apple device.

Having played the "buy a mac mini to get MacOS" game, I can tell
you that I was very disappointed.

The Mac Studio we have now is a few steps up, but it's not worth
what we paid for it.  It's clunky, and the security policies on
it are one-offs.  It's a UNIX system, but they've bolted on extras
that are downright unfriendly.

Meanwhile Mrs. vallor's new workstation is still waiting in the wings;
turns out, she expanded the scope of "make a space on her desk"
into "re-organize her office". ;)

IMO the mini had historically been Apple's product to promote desktop 
customers to migrate from Windows, but its shortcomings have centered 
around how 90% of the market ignored it because it wasn't a laptop, and 
the other 10% are tower fetish geeks who were offended because it 
couldn't easily address every possible niche/corner use case.


> The Mac Studio we have now is a few steps up, but it's not worth

The Studio's now two months from being 3 years old, and pretty much all 
its gotten to date has been a CPU bump.  It was envisioned as the being 
a midpoint between the mini & Mac Pro, effectively a replacement for the 
iMac Pro, whose MSRP started at $5K.

Just which security policies are so constraining?  Likewise, are these 
so-called 'unfriendly' elements something which affects the Pareto 
Principle 80% use case, or is it more akin to a niche/corner use case?

Good for her.  Let me know if you're going to then be selling the 
Studio, as I'd not mind picking up another one at the right specs/price.

Everything Apple sells in its “Macintosh” range is effectively a laptop 
now, just packaged differently. In its move to ARM chips, it has 
completely sacrificed all the traditional expandability that came with 
desktop/workstation machines.

Yeah, so?

Over 80% of the total PC market today are laptops.

The old school paradigm of getting elbows-deep into component upgrades 
is a niche that's going to continue to be considered irrelevant by the 
mainstream:  I've already seen some components whose prices are far 
higher than what they _should_ be, as state-of-the-shelf commodities.

Maybe not. Found this article
<https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/intel-proposes-easily-repairable-and-sustainable-modular-pc-design-for-laptops-and-mini-pcs>
indicating a trend in the opposite direction, where Intel wants to
break a laptop motherboard into three separate main pieces, to allow
easier replacement/repair/upgrading.

Note also that the Framework company has been doing this sort of thing
with its laptops for years.

Monitor?  Nope.

Video Card?  Yup:  because you said that even though you'd researched 
your gear, you quickly realized that you screwed up as the i5's included 
one was inadequate for your desires.  But even if we subtract off the 
$100 you spent here, its still $600 vs your $850 spent

But do feel free to provide a detailed cost list.

Because even the $100 you spent on the video card is subtracted off too, 
your $850 spent is still higher than $600, but now its only by +30%.

But you have control of your expenses.

It all depends on your objectives and budget.

An upgrade could be $500 or it could be $2000.

If you build your own computers, you can reuse
PSU, computer case (my daily driver case is 25 years old),
keyboard, mouse, and so on. My daily driver case, I think
that's about the fourth motherboard.

An upgrade can be mobo, CPU, RAM.
Maybe $200 for mobo, $100 for some RAM, $150 for CPU.
It wouldn't be much of an upgrade, but it would depend
on what you were driving previously.

The trick to hitting points like this, is to look
at trailing-edge parts. When the kids are buying DDR5
systems, you buy a DDR4 system. As long as the market
has some legs, a few reduced-cost motherboards will be
issued in a second wave (intended to "mop up" the
old processors), offering a small savings. The RAM can
be cheaper to quite a lot cheaper, than the current generation
RAM (DDR5).

The CPUs start off strong on price, but if you wait
long enough, the price of the lower end ones comes down.
The apex processor, the price does not usually drop
enough to make that an option for a budget consumer.

As long as the CPU has an iGPU, that "reduces the video card
tax on building a system". I have a 5600G and a 5700G, and
those have an iGPU. Can I play Crysis at 30FPS. No.
I can only play solitaire on those. They have movie decoders,
so movie playback does not load the machine at all.

To get the top CPU clock speed, you usually end up buying a
lot of cores you might not have wanted or needed. They don't
usually make 2 core CPUS that run at 6GHz. If they did, we
would buy those... because they would be very useful and
offer a "kick" the normal spread of CPUs does not offer.

You can use the Windows OS with the infinite grace period
if you want, or you can get one of those $20 licenses off
the Internet instead. Some people in the newsgroup here, have
partaken of the bargain items. No particular drama to mention.
Sometimes one of those keys does not work, but the merchant
doesn't usually make a fuss and another key will be sent.

$500 computer is a "budget" computer these days? Hehe :)

What do you guys do with your computers? I bet you grab it tight and it 
takes you with it to a Jupiter flyby. Hahhahhahh :-)

Well, nothing wrong with enthusiasm, but enthusiasm is different from 
fooling yourselves. Be mindful of the trap that the _less_ you might 
need a computer to begin with, the more your brains may want to trick 
you into paying high prices for it to somehow fill that void, making it 
look like something worthwhile is getting done.

I've seen such mind tricks among gun lovers also. Even in those Shoe 
freaks.

$1500 for a pair of sneakers..
