Can it run a Linux subsystem?

jll29•42m ago

Could the be a good "mom and pop" OS to reduce (remote) IT maintenance workload for geeks from parent "clients"?

Arainach•22m ago

No.

No one should be running Win9x for anything connected to the internet. Ever, full stop.

The only reason to touch it is for a dedicated retro gaming setup or (completely airgapped) for some industrial tool with drivers/software provided by a company that has been defunct for 25+ years.

And writing "Proudly written without AI." in README.md now is new black?

dataflow•22m ago

My question is, if they did decide to use AI someday, would they remember to update README.md in the same commit? I would probably forget.

drxzcl•15m ago

The agent will happily fix that for them. They are through like that.

It’s a craft like anything else. Some people enjoy building a table and feel a sense of accomplishment telling their friends “I built this.” Other people just want a table and buy one from Ikea

I'm heartened that recent Linux kernels in 2026 can still target i386 systems!

Between i486, i586 and i686 there's been a steady drumbeat of Linux distros and kernel itself deprecating support
