Wow! Is linux kernel up to 5.8 now? IMO continually trying to tune poplog or other code to the latest fads is a futile waste-of-time. Since newer technology easily allows running extra OSs: eg. via a USBstik: a popular OS of the 90s was RedHat6.2. It seemed to be doable to: install RH6.2 to a USBstik, to run poplog and other old stuff on a laptop. I use an old Slackware <chmod> which is essential for my TextToSpeech facility. And needed to pass the <ascii-text> through a <sed chain> to translate the new/stupid-IMO fad of replacing ASCII [eg. quotation marks] with 3-bytes !! I failed to get RH6.2 running.
