            Exactly - That's the actual problem. Upstream does not care
            and Fedora
            seems unable to address this issue.

        According to my system, it has SSSE3. Is it SSE3?
        Taken from A10-7400P laptop

    any system not older than 10 years has SSE3 and frankly systems
    older than 10 years are hardly a traget for Fedora at all

On the other hand, my >10 year-old 32-bit system (Fedora 22) is the only
place my LaserJet 4L printer works. My 64-bit systems drop control
sequences (like they don't flush the output buffer), leaving the last
page of every job sitting in printer memory. I reported the bug a few
years ago, but it got closed as WONTFIX and now I can't find it in bugzilla

we talk about a *bleeding edge distribution*

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_LaserJet_4#4L_and_4P
"The LaserJet 4 series was discontinued in the 1990s"

why in the world does somebody install a operating system released in 2015 to drive harwdare realeased 10-15 years ago and *why in the world* should recent hardware feautures ignored forever because of users with such hardware?

you CAN NOT HAVE both - leading edge software and legacy support forever

that's the same disucssion as others have with "my PHP crap don't work with anything above PHP 5.2 so why can't i have newest software *but not* recent PHP
