86Box forked from PCem specifically over issues of emulation accuracy. The developers of each had very different motives. PCem was aimed at running a few select games as quickly as possible, while 86Box is aimed at accurately representing r

Give it a try :) Exempting serious bugs (which have become rare), Slackware should install the same way as a real PC with the hardware configuration you select.

Accuracy was one of the major reasons for 86Box forking from PCem. PCem's development was spearheaded by a developer that cared more about playing specific games and took shortcuts to get there. 86Box is far more focused on being as ac

The entire Microsoft Office suite pretty much had every feature that users need by 1997. It's just been UI refreshes ever since.

Office 97 went pretty overboard on customization. It could be awesome if you know what you're doing, but I saw countless examples of where somebody had accidentally changed something and got stuck. Deleted the file menu? tough luck!

Wow, somehow I entirely missed that Windows XP versions were made. I relied pretty heavily on the Windows 95 PowerToys when I used Win95. Deskman seems like it'd be awesome.

I just tried mounting a exFAT partition at "C:\exFAT" and it worked just fine.

I use ZFS on both my desktop and laptop each with Linux (in addition to a server, also running ZFS, but on FreeBSD). It's actually really not terribly hard, but I might be biased since I've been doing since it 2011 :) If you can&#

Have you considered exiting Steam before starting the game? Or installing your GOG copy on the other computer?

A heck of a lot faster than Windows XP or newer versions, that's for sure.

The primary alternative to full system VMs is containers (or jails, zones... whatever your OS might call them). You don't need to go server sprawl or VMs as the only two options.

That's pretty broad and over-generalized. Networking file systems without good lock support is almost always a bad setup by an administrator. Both NFS and CIFS can work with network-wide locks just fine. SQLite advises against using a

Debian 3.0 was the last version that ran on the 80386 processor proper, but even as the CPU requirements for the "i386" architecture moved up to the 486, then Pentium, then Pentium II, the name stuck around. Partly from inertia, p

You can get that with ZFS Boot Menu on Linux too. It was inspired by the FreeBSD boot loader.

It's the second largest fast food chain, behind Subway. It is everywhere and provides steady good work. There should be no surprise here.

No, it works on many OSes. That's the point of linking to wimlib :) It even supports Unix metadata!

Another similar archive format is WIM, the thing created by Microsoft for the Windows Vista (and newer) installer; an open source implementation is at: https://wimlib.net/ It offers similar deduplication, indexing, per-file
