minus-squaretombruzzolinkfedilinkarrow-up4·5 hours agoI watched a video on this modern pc that runs Windows 98, but it’s like 500 Euros. Then I looked up how to install windows 98 on an old thinclient. But it’s complicated and you could lose Bluetooth, WiFi, and USB ports. If you want a computer for authentic retro gaming you could put WINE on a cheap thin client since WINE runs old programs better than windows
