    Discussion Pentium 4 HT - Current Linux Distros

    I am asking out of curiosity, not so much due to practicality. I wonder what current Linux Distros would run on a Pentium 4 HT in 2024 and if something like Ubuntu 24.04 LTS would boot at all. You can even run Windows 11 on some of them (before the 24H2 update). I will not be using /...

    Discussion What made the Pentium 4 so hot?

    To this day, even being from Gen Z, and having never used a Pentium 4 until 2 years ago, I'm curious why the Pentium 4 was so hot compared to say, a Core 2 Duo, which was much cooler and even needed a less beefy cooling system. My Northwood 478 Pentium 4 idles at 50 degrees on the BIOS, and so...
