Personally for me it's that it's not as resource heavy as windows whilst offering a similar out of box 'it just works'. Sure it's not the best tool for the job in a lot of regards but for example I have two laptops from early 2014. A macbook air and a windows laptop running windows 10. The macbook air runs smoothly when browsing the Web, or studying whereas the windows laptop ends up slowing down a lot and chugging.
I will say I am a fan of the best tool for the job approach though. Doing a lot of office based work and need word editing or spreadsheet editing? Windows. Gaming? Windows. Server work? Linux. Music/video production? Macs
I have an email server but it is not my main email account. I'm purely only using it to learn and to have email notifications sent out from a few services. I do not trust myself or my setup enough to have my main email account hosted on it
It doesn't even run destroy all humans!
Incase you were being serious these are Personal System 2s otherwise known as the PS/2..fun fact this range of computers is where the ps/2 connector started
If anyone is needing it Stephen D does have a project to help a ps2 read a stanard floppy drive...I just haven't got around to actually figuring it out again - https://gitlab.scd31.com/stephen/ps2-floppy-converter
Just a crappy webcam plugged into one of my servers running simple rstp server to send the stream to vlc. Quality isn't fantastic as you can see but I enjoy it
After my first job as a printer technician I can believe some of the horrors to expect. Training on a nice shiny new printer vs one that had been installed upside down, backwards and whilst drunk...20 years ago haha
Firewatch is a good example of this. Wandering round an empty forest, seeing an evergrowing forest fire all the time. It's quite eerie but not outright horror.
Ah this isn't the chromecast streaming devices I'm talking about. It's the older pucks that plug into an aux cable that you can stream music from your phone to

Hello world!
I didn't take it as one don't worry Nah not at the moment just got it on my pc screen right now
It's less an announcement and more an explanation for the spam of posts
Oh wow that's creative!
Same! They are just so satisfying
Unfortunately due to the 720kb drives and the meager specs I couldn't get os/2 to install and run. Got pc dos on these and os/2 on the 57sx
I did feel a little like Richmond sat in the dark watching these flashing lights!

Ah it's on three bits of wood screwed into the wall. Can still unscrew it and flip it over though so I may do that.
They have, but you can still find them on the second hand market. I m not looking forward to the day they stop supporting them however

Chocolate and pistachio tart I made a couple days ago
