Yet further proof that all anyone really wants is Windows xp with modern support.
Well, people are trying to do just that. Small team and moves slowly, but slow progress is still progress.
Will it run on a Raspberry Pi 4, 4GB?
The year 2000 was peak human technology. It's been downhill in every way since, until generative AI - which is f'in amazing. But let's be real, the future belongs to the bots.
Can confirm. N64 existed before year 2000......but not WWF No Mercy, which came out in 2001. Lets call it 2002 was peak. Pretty sure GTA Vice City was out by then.
Honestly, I'd get on-board with just about anytime 2000 to 2010. The enshittification of the internet and social-media-driven comment culture didn't start in earnest until smart phones took off.
That is what people want out of Windows, it dove off a cliff from there. I'd still be using Linux, but it'd be a harder choice if the alternative was XP instead of Data Harvesting Simulator 11 begging me to subscribe to me own hardware.
