Great recipe for mediocrity. Do not follow OPs advice. (Source: 23+ years at NVIDIA).

That. I blatantly "stole" those from Z80 since they are elegant and effective. I have BF (flag) that gets set in ALU when the result is > 9, then DAA/DAS that add 6 or 10 (the latter wraps around as -6 since registers are 4-bit wide).

     12'b0000_0000_001?: begin : instr_daas    // DAA, DAS
       if (flags[BF_BIT])
         rx[0] <= rx[0] + (op_is_daa ? 4'd6 : 4'd10);
       flags[CF_BIT] <= flags[BF_BIT];
       state <= FETCH;
     end : instr_daas

Corrected. Thank you!

Absolutely agree with the OP! My first Linux installation was in 1993 when I hauled dozens of floppies from my Uni back home (X-Windows was like 15 floppies?). Even remember emailing to Linus about some issue and he responded. Ever since I _wanted_ to be using Linux but was always put off for all the reasons described in that post. I wanted a nice OS so I can do my school/work/hobbies but not constantly having to work on that OS, figure out dozens of config files, brick the system etc.

At this point WSL2 is more than filling this void. I even stopped using VMWare since WSL is that good.

Agree. Lang Lang is all about theatrics, also.

I loved the article! Spot on and just the right depth for the article size (I am a CPU architect).
