ATM i have a 2013 System running and it's same as fast as it was 2013. No Firefox update changed that nor did it stop me from running games on 100 FPS+ on FHD (FX8350/16GBRAM). If you had made a choice for "invest more, keep it longer" in 2013, it still runs smooth. I even had a friend mentioning his >11y old (now) Win10 pc still running fine, and you know how much windows bloated in this time. But if you bought your PC in 2013 with 2 Intel Mobile Cores and 2 GB RAM than it's your poor choice of hw in 2013 thats limiting you now. The times, when PC hw is obsoleted 5 years later, are over for the common users. What do they do? Watch Netflix, read mail, print picture. You simply don't need a 48 Core cpu for this. In this spirit: Dropping legacy bios support is a mistake. best regards, Marius _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
