ITT: People who just read the headlines and not the article, and then going off on their own Windows rant/Linux evangelism instead of discussing the article.

A someone running a proxmox cluster on my gaming PCs, why not just use all of the above? Hell, I still have an XP VM on there somewhere for some particularly grouchy games.

Don't see a need, basically. What games require XP though? So far all my old games still work on 10.

[–] greybeard@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

XP was the last Windows OS that supported 16 bit code if I recall correctly, so there's that. Although most games that needed that are better off with something like DOSbox.

[–] HidingCat@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Ah yes, I suppose there's that, and I've been running the really old games on Dosbox too.
