Now about making it relevant to the topic for once?

Pssht, Windows is so much cooler.

MacOS is the tech-savvy pseudo-intellectual's OS of choice!

But the really edgy kids use Linux.

---|Because we were talking about DOS somewhere else and it deserves a tribute to its wonderfulness.

So, discuss: ...DOS, other operating systems you like/dislike.|---

Many of my favorite computer games are DOS games. Nowadays, one has to use something like DOSBox to play them.

Already repeated that joke back in another thread xD

DOS games rule, especially the text based ones, and simple arcade ones!

---|Yeah, many of my favourite games are DOS games that I can now play only in DOSBox - The Jill of the Jungle Trilogy, Secret Agent/Crystal Caves trilogies, Jazz Jackrabbit (which for some reason does not work on my current computer, to my frustration), Space Chase, Epic Pinball (Best. Pinball. Game. Ever.), Xargon, In Search of Doctor Riptide...

I could go on.|---

I used to play an old F-117A game on DOS xD I loved it! There was also a Submarine game, kind of a precursor to Silent Hunter
