Using Apple can feel like having golden handcuffs!

A friend of mine had OS/2 in the 90s, or at least tried it and raved about it.  It was a better Windows than Windows, stable and capable.  I do still have a Windows partition, which was for a few games, but with Proton, it is almost unecessary.  I use Windows now only to build Windows versions of some hobby software I write.

Technically, I also use DOS as I have a couple of old 486's lying around.
