May she rest in peace. So at the moment its really just a nostalgia/retro gaming thing.

I guess, although the original Amiga OS had very little in common with Linux, it was much lighter. In fact most games etc. would just use a very low level API layer and program the hardware directly, whereas in Linux (and Windows) everything has to go through libraries and kernel drivers. 1 1 "We're rushing towards a cliff, but the closer we get, the more scenic the views are." -- Max Tegmark AI: Major Emerging Existential Threat To Humanity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the older systems like x68 based Macs (pre PPC), Amiga, Atari ST you could program in x68 assembly using an assembler or inline assembly via C so you could get as "close to the metal" as possible (since speed and resources were so limited relatively speaking) and make direct calls with minimal layers versus the HAL and APIs of modern OSes like Windows which rely on modern compiler optimizations to get the code running as fast as possible and making modern languages much easier to work with like 4th generation (IE Python, SQL, Perl, etc..) for programmers. Back then we didn't have such advanced compilers that could take even VB/VBA level code and have it running nearly at if not equal to VC/VC++ code. I worked on some projects back in the early 90s in C where it just was easier to code in x86 via inline assembly using Borland's C products for sake of efficiency and speed especially when you needed to communicate with specialized hardware and/or needed to write your own drivers or heavily modify pre-existing libraries or code to get them up and running (I'm looking at you endless army of communication boards of all ilks). 1 Electrosoft Prime: 7950X3D | MSI X670E Carbon | MSI Suprim X Liquid 4090 | AC LF II 420 | G.Skill 6000 A-Die 2x32GB | Samsung 990 Pro 2TB | EVGA 1600w P2 | Phanteks Ethroo Pro | Alienware AW3225QF 32" OLED Eurocom Raptor X15 | 12900k | Nvidia RTX 3070ti | 15.6" 1080p 240hz | Kingston 3200 32GB (2x16GB) | Samsung 980 Pro 1TB Heatsink Edition Heath: i9-12900k | EVGA CLC 280 | Asus Strix Z690 D4 | Asus Strix 3080 | 32GB DDR4 2x16GB B-Die 4000 | WD Black SN850 512GB | EVGA DG-77 | Samsung G7 32" 144hz 32" MelMel: (Retrofit currently in progress) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Etern4l Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Yes, clearly - it was a 16/32 bit machine. 1987 or so.

Etern4l Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 It's called retro computing. I rarely partake - I guess it's mostly done occasionally for nostalgia reasons that could be difficult to understand unless you owned any of the now retro machines. Anyway, who are we to judge people's state of mind, on this forum no less? Best to keep our sense of irony to ourselves, the conversation will be better for it.
