Laptops run desktop operating systems, and that's what pcr910303 was talking about.
Plus "putty connection to a dosbox app"? I have never heard of anyone doing that, and don't understand why they would. Or maybe you don't mean "dosbox" [1], but "console"/"terminal"?

- mkl 7y agoI think you are almost completely wrong here. I have hundreds of students, most of whom have a laptop running a desktop OS. Practically all of them run normal desktop apps.
- garmaine 7y agoI mean dosbox. Look behind the counter next time you're with a human bank teller or checking in at the airport. You'll find a screen running telnet connected to an instance of dosbox running on some central server.
- mkl 7y agoBank tellers make up an absolutely tiny proportion of desktop OS users, most of whom run normal desktop apps. I have seen tellers connect to terminal apps running on a server, though, so I know what you mean.
