What would even use these where older kernel versions would not suffice?

I have to admit, at first I was like "Oh no, not 486 support and early 586 support!" but then it was like "wait, the 486 is less powerful than most microcontrollers these days, and the 586 was first released just a few months after George H. W. Bush left office after losing the presidential election to Bill Clinton. What would even still be using these chips?"

@SuperSnekFriend @theregister You really shouldn't have any issues using such kernel with such CPUs, alas Linux has bloated up to the point where it's only feasible to use very old versions.
@Suiseiseki @SuperSnekFriend @theregister Are there even original 486 and 586 systems out there still working?
No i don't mean the new old stock retro systems that have surfaced for DOS gaming and windows95 industrial controllers, i mean actual peroid systems that are not running on a vintage OS but are running modern linux kernels to function as thin servers, what can those even run as, ftp servers?
