Linux could never.
>>110176397Game?
this would be a monumental task that would take hundreds of hours to accomplish to run 30 year old software on modern linux
Sounds like bullshit, tard probably slopped up a version that can run on it
>>110176401Balatro
>>110176415It’s called backwards compatibility. Have you heard of it?
>>110176455Yes and you're on the wrong os if that's what you want
>>110176455I've heard of backside compatibility between your mom and my weiner.
>>110176397so why don't you try it, microsoft started breaking compatibilities with windows 7-8.Linux there was a time it could, but those corporate bastards even target the kernel these days... there are some breaking changes in the userland, depending on what you want to run.
>>110176460Show us the amazing backwards compatibility capabilities of Linux then.
>>110176397Ok, but I'm using a 40 yo text editor on Linux...
>>110176492Do it yourself retard
>>110176397You guys told me if I run old sodtware then I will instantly get backdoored and rootkitted. How did 1993 FreeCell work without immediately crashing from malware?
>>110176548basically, ooga booga bing bing wahoo
>>110176397Because Linux 2.0 is only 29 years old. wine can run 1993 freecell just fine though.
>>110176492Having fun downloading a billion .NET frameworks to get your gameslop running?
>>110176397You can run a recent-ish loonix itself on a 33 years old machine. Can Microslop 11 do that?

>>110176575t. freetard who is boasting about not having used windows since xp in another thread as we speak and means it
>>110176581>recent-ishYou can still run Linux 7.14 on an old Mac Centris, just not planned obsolescence x86 trash.
>>110176581That's literally a completely different thing and mostly useless
>>110176566Ah okay, so old games are immune to malware. Its just browsers and operating systems that need biweekly boosters to remain safe. Make sure you update your Windowss 11, anons. We gotta flatten this malware curve.
>>110176611>That's literally a completely different thing and mostly uselessIt's in the same category of factoids and exactly as useless.
>>110176611>completely useless>as opposed to running solitaire from 1993Don't @ me with any bullshit about muh business applications either because none of that shit was y2k compliant. wine is a better compatibility layer for 1993 programs than what ships with win11. It's literally a one liner to run freecell on Linux.
>>110176631In the post-AI security hellscape being able to run CPUs without speculative execution is never useless.
>>110176397seems legiti can run Winamp 1.0 from 1997 on my Windows out of the box, just doubleclick without 400GB of dependencies from insecure neckbeard repos
>>110176592Oh you're one of those steam paypiggies that can't even get that right.
>>110176648>microsoft forced everyone to install the dependencies so i don't have to
>>110176397saaaar redeem teh vindovs
>>110176647You figure using an NSA-backdoored OS managed by a retard who injects AI slop and xenoestrogen straight into the kernel to drive an old CPU is gonna keep you safe?
>>110176730mouthbreather/10. NSA backdoors the crypto not the OS.
linux doesn't really have the problem of software getting worse over time like on windows, so there's little need to run old versions of things on linux to begin with
>>110176751Sorry, Linus. Still not using your tranny CIA botnet.
>>110176455no
Since OP is a faggot, here's the link to the articlehttps://blog.enlyth.com/posts/oldest-windows-gui-app-win-11/
>>110176772>he posted with a browser capable of accessing 4chan>utterly oblivious to the irony
>>110176803?
>>110176803Any internet-connected device might as well be a bulletin board on the street. Linus' AI-slopped kernel and everything based on it won't protect you from shit. You better get used to it.
>>110176397I just tested and it literally works on my machine running in wine
Try running a 2000 era game next
The significance of Freecell is that it was the program used to test that Windows was running in 32-bit mode.
>>110176397Wine can run the same exe on any modern distro
>>110177093I was wondering how it could run on a 64 bit Windows since they never supported 16 bit programs.
I dumped the freecell.exe into Claude and before I finished the captcha I had a native version running on my Plasma/Arch desktop.
usecase?
>>110176397What's the point of backwards compatibility when I could just compile the program I need
