it’s impossible for me to agree with this given how many times I’ve watched people crash and burn trying to do what should be basic dev tasks on Windows, but I understand why people feel this way

man, how did y’all not grow up with DOS on 286, 386 or 486 machines?
Did you never write your own start menues and alternative sets of CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BATs for maximum amount of HIGHMEM and sub 640k segments?

I got ultima 7 running with sound effects, music, and speech all working on a 386 once, but that was then and this is 2022. I don’t want to get out and crank start my car at every stop light either

Ultima 7 on a 386, with all bells and whistles?
n…n…nani… my inner initial D peasant is channeled out of pure envy… Grand Prix Circuit and Test Drive Duel were the few gems we got running on 386es, with true PC Speaker bleeps and blops.
Indeed, I feel old :grandpaTarothink:

the Steam Deck is the worst purchase I’ve made because I keep buying games to play on it
it’s going to end up costing me more money than I would save not buying console versions
