You're assuming wrong, they are not talking about data-oriented programming.

I mean they work fine, you just have to have a high (single-threaded) performance CPU to emulate something like a Pentium II or III.

I think that's only if you use Gnome. I'm using XFCE and the Firefox that's installed is the X11 variety.

I don't know. I have a couple of old Dell laptops that still work fine, a 2008 Core 2 Duo Latitude and a 2010 1st gen Core i3 Alienware M15x. I didn't even bother to replace the HDD or upgrade the RAM, just switched them from Wind

The 6.123 version they're using is a pre-release version, either a beta or an alpha. It's not surprising that it isn't stable.

You didn't actually miss much because even with an FPU, Quake wasn't really playable on a 486. It was optimized for the Pentium.

IIRC you could have a 386 with a 287 co-processor.

Windows. They have a sub-par user experience because of that compared to the Steam Deck. Windows just doesn't work that well on small screens like these, and the custom UIs they have are the usual bloatware you find in "gaming&quo

The 286 launched in early 1982, just a few months after the IBM PC. 1984 is when IBM put it in the PC AT.
