Those measurements still exist, they’ve just been renamed into the somewhat more awkward KiB, MiB, GiB, etc. I’m aware changing the terminology – while resolving the inconsistency with other things that get measured with SI-prefixes – creates issues, though.
Well, I say they’ve been renamed, it’s actually a bit of a shit show.
Take a USB drive and plug it into a Windows PC and everything appears a different size compared to on Mac, because they define MB/GB/TB/etc differently to one another.
Linux of course depends on your distro and desktop environment, but virtually all of them pick either GB or GiB and actually mean what they say they mean.
