Why isn't kernel nostalgia a thing? There is nostalgia for XP and 10.6.8.

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.
Robert Smith
Because you don't interact with the kernel directly, your applications and hardware do.
Nathan Butler
>Anything released this side of 2000 is not old enough yet.
For you.
That's false because Linux has a monolithic kernel, you fucking faggot nigger.
Chase Sanders
Fuck forgot file.
>Anything released this side of 2000 is not old enough yet.
For you.
Michael Green
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.
Brandon Gutierrez
How does the kernel being monolithic mean you interact with it?
Jacob Hernandez
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.
Carson Hughes
Google is your friend faggot.
Joseph Ross
So you're just some retard spouting retarded drivel. Got it.
Landon Miller

Jayden Torres
No I'm actually taking a course on it right now, you pleb.
Suck my cock.
Grayson Rivera

Aiden Wilson
Because linux actually gets better over time
Lucas Myers
Most of the nostalgia is for the equivalent of the DE, not the kernel.
Anthony White
Because the kernel improves, unlike winshit.
Alexander Adams
This. The retarded vaporwave faux nostalgia for example is purely for looks, tech nostalgia in general is almost always for design, not functionality.
Nolan Bailey
>no nostalgia for 2.6.32 and GNOME 2
what earth are you living on?
Noah Turner
Implying that nostalgia isn't the reason Trinity/Mate exist
James Campbell
>nostalgia for XP
w2k, if anything. XP was shit tier.
>tech nostalgia in general is almost always for design, not functionality.
>GNOME 2
but nostalgia for GNOME 2 is nostalgia for functionality
Lucas Jenkins
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
