As of the death of WIndows 10, I've officially made the jump to Linux. Using Mint Cinnamon, and I feel pretty at home. Inspired my Matt's work of installing stuff on hardware not meant for it, I dusted off my old college laptop, slapped an SSD in there, and did a test run of Linux using that.

Now I've put it on my main desktop PC. Unfortunately, a bunch of the really obscure stuff I've enjoyed making use of in WIndows just isn't looking like it's all that possible, so I've put Windows 10 on a separate drive so I can boot into that if I ever need to, like, run DOS games at 320x200p.

Welcome to the forum! It is nice to see people are seriously moving out of that hellscape for the past months MuppetHype

For DOS games, using forks like DOSBox-X and DOSBox Pure Unleashed are better than keeping a copy of Windows around. There is also 86Box for programs needing specific combinations of hardware that the obscure programs you mentioned might have troubles running. (If such programs are something along the lines of Adobe Cloud Suites, however, then I suggest opening your view and trying out Linux native alternatives as they are catching up in term of capabilities for the majority of usecases in the past few years.)
