Is that kind of setup still usable for some kind of desktop computing or only for command line stuff ?

128MB RAM sounds huge for the early 90s - win 3.1 and word / excel of the time could fly with much less. Is the lack of hardware floating point support an issue to run modern apps ?

The speed difference with current systems is mind boggling. The original A1200 CPU is 2,000 to 5,000 times slower than a random N100 setup. one second wait nowadays means one hour delay on the A1200. This shows how much software bloat accumulated.

Not gonna be running chrome or firefox there, that's for sure.

But there are otherwise thousands of X11 applications to run.

Yes, the bloat is unfathomable. Relative to how fast and clean AmigaOS and emuTOS are, on the same hardware.

X11 isn't even remotely dead on Linux. It's being used all over the place.

Certainly not on Amiga hardware.

Loads of people use it on x86.

If you re-read above, you might figure out this is about X11 on Linux on the m68k Amiga platform, specifically.

Which is broken, and has been for years now.

Whereas it works on Netbsd, thanks to patches written by Netbsd developers.

I am hopeful they will eventually be upstreamed to XLibre.
