Linux drops support for 486 and early Pentium processors - 20 years after Microsoft

Linux drops support for 486 and early Pentium processors - 20 years after Microsoft

Linux 6.15 finally ditches the prehistoric 486 processors and those clunky first-gen Pentiums. Torvalds and Molnár wielded the axe, banishing 14,000 lines of fossilized code from the kernel.
