Looking for “are you older than Unix” site

I am looking for a specific website I ran across a few years ago, and am hoping someone might be able to help me. I once encountered a web site which had a noscript similar to, “are you older than Unix.” It asked for your birth year, and then gave a list of Unix sub-commands which were invented before your birth year. Unfortunately, multiple computer changes have caused me to lose the link, and google searches using multiple versions of “Unix age vs. user age” and similar text has turned up nothing. If anyone can identify the website I refer to, I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you!

In an age when browsers easily shave off a couple GBs of your RAM in normal usage, does it really matter what distro we use?

Let's say I'm the dude who has at least 10-15 sites open in different tabs of firefox (which I presume is a very normal thing), and also lightness/performance is my criteria for choosing a DE (since I do everything from CLI, looks don't matter to me). So, for someone like me, does it really matter whether I use MATE or XFCE or even GNOME?

When I used to test distros, I had a habit of running `free -m` command constantly to check how much memory the system "eats" when running a particular app. But now, it seems a futile exercise when your browser consumes so much memory that those few mega-bytes saved here and there don't really matter.

At rest or idle mode, there is hardly a difference of 200-300 MBs between what XFCE and GNOME takes, so why this emphasis on "lightness" of distros?

Are there any current Linux based real-time operating systems?

Just curious as Linux is used for a lot of industrial equipment, are there currently any still-aupported Linux kernel modules or forks that feature real-time operation? I know there's [RTLinux](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/RTLinux) but it's been discontinued. Hypothetically, if I had a machine that needed to do certain actions immediately and not "when the scheduler feels like it", can I use some version of Linux to control it? Are real-time operating systems even still relevant in the age of fast, multi core processors?

Can windows peripherals drivers work on whine?

Hi, since Im rethinking to switch again on linux (because last time, I got pissed by compatibility/audio/driver)

I was wondering if the drivers of the peripherals that I use can work on linux using wine, since there is no official supports

peripherals that Im using: Huion kanvas 20 pro; Logitech g910; logitech g502; (for logitech product, I know that there is an unofficial driver, that frankly I dont remember the name, but last time that I installed it, was kinda glitchy/didnt work); epson xp342
