I don't know if any diyer should pull apart hair dryers

I have the hardware in boxes but some of its now failing with age 😭 Yes Win2000 was mine, same with XP

I agreed it is a bit of overhead to install and update the OS in the VM, but once setup its easy to snapshot or copy the VM. So if I install a game that doesn't work out I just roll back. I have tried Wine over the years and although it's getting better I am a dos and windows native. Linux on the side with the manual or Google open. 🤪

I actually use virtual box as my work pc. So my work and personal is separated.
I can easily backup/snapshot my work machine or move my work VM to another physical machine. Same using a VM to run any archived games you might find online that may have hidden malware that kills your main machine. Connecting to work VPN within a VM and free to listen to music streams or Netflix in my main desktop without receiving any angry IT emails from work. Because my main laptop(win8) is now overdue for replacement I am thinking to install Linux and VirtualBox and just run it as a VM server.

Yeah VirtualBox is my goto solution for this. I have Win95, WinXP, Win2000, Win8.1, Win10, Linux Ubuntu, Android86x, OSX Leopard

I basically used the original disks/licenses I had from older machines or grabbed isos following online tutorials using developer testing licenses

C:\dos C\dos\run Run dos run

Looking forward to some 16 bit fun

Yeah and I see the exact same post twice, one with this comment and the other with no comments. Are we shadow banned but why the duplicate posts?

I second that, Lift off is fantastic. Stable with all the features you would expect to read and post. Also need to give a shout out to Jerboa

should we raise shields?

should we raise shields.

Maybe the fediverse should operate under a General Public License like Linux does. So it would be okay for everyone to use and contribute but not steal and sell.
