Those can be even more rare than games.

As a sysadmin I had to find drivers for a scanner from epson from 1992 and if it wasnt for a internet archive floppy save. I wouldn’t have made it work. Our municipality uses some stone age things for the archives

Haha, Indeed.

I do realize I only used debian for server type stuff where I didnt need a GUI so the stakes where a lot lower than for the others.

On my xps 13 9370 I run endeavourOS without a hitch.

I don’t wanna be an ubuntu hater, but apart from lubuntu for quick recoveries. I never had good luck making hardware work right with ubuntu.

Debian, arch and fedora always worked way better out of the box on bare metal.

I don’t have much advice in whats best, I would guess Github indeed followed by review and uploading important things to internet archive.

But I wanted to just be thankfull, preserving old media is extremely usefull and without people like you who wanna do it. I wouldn’t have been able to play some old obscure games I remember from my youth. Or old software like goomaker 5.4 (it distorted images to make funny faces)

So good luck and thank you
