| Nov 25, 2018 at 10:21 | comment | added | sourcejedi | I see you're adding content to this old question. It would be nice if we had something on this question, to point out that it is (and arguably always was!) obsolescent. I.e. 32-bit Linux is generally not used on PCs anymore, and 64-bit Linux does not split physical memory into highmem / lowmem (and obviously the 3GB/1GB user/kernel split doesn't apply either, both virtual areas are significantly larger). | |
