The magazine dedicated to vintage/retro OSes! This is the ideal spot to get lost in nostalgia and discover the software that helped pave the path for modern computing, whether you're thinking back to the days of MS-DOS, Windows 3.1, Mac OS 9, or even earlier systems like Bell Labs UNIX or AmigaOS. Join our community to explore emulation strategies, learn how to run classic operating systems on modern hardware, and share your own experiences with these platforms. Emulation is allowed. Feel free to post screenshots, stories, and even ask for assistance with troubleshooting or finding rare software. FYI: Although we are strictly retro OSes, Linux distros are allowed if they aren't the common ones. _This place is in no way affiliated with subreddits of the same purpose_

Great to see this magazine here - makes it much easier to abandon Reddit.

Interests/hobbies: Collecting ThinkPads and other retro hardware, mostly from the 90s.
What interests you about retro/vintage OSes? It mostly brings back memories when operating systems were more unique. Linux-based OS are becoming way more mainstream and kinda boring these days and especially Microsoft Windows totally lost its track. I love tinkering around with OS like older Unices (HP-UX, Solaris) or Windows 3.x-XP and DOS.
What was the first OS you used as a kid? MS-DOS 5.0 and Windows 3.1
What is your current OS you use? Fedora 38 and Pop!_OS 22.04
