x32 mode may be an option to take advantage of some more registers/instructions, but I’d assume not many distros support that as a platform.

I have an Asus EeePC where the latest BIOS update straight up removed the option for AHCI and hard wired IDE compat mode. Luckily, I had kept the previous version and downgrade was possible.

It does support 64-bit though?

My first programming related memory is of the QBasic interpreter.

I had written some code I was quite happy with, but not saved it yet. As part of a subroutine for sound output, I quickly wrote a loop from 20 to 20000 to output a test signal over 1 second each with that frequency via the PC speaker and hit execute.

Realizing my mistake, It being MS-DOS and thus single-threaded, I couldn’t Ctrl+C out of it without killing QBasic altogether and losing my code. I couldn’t turn town the PC speaker.

I ended up closing various doors between the PC and me and waiting it out.
