I find that for nearly any retro or "niche" type hobies around software Linux is easily king. Xibalba ran on CentOS 7 for many years up until a couple weeks ago when I used Leapp to do a seemless migration from CentOS 7 to AlmaLinux 8. Pretty impressive how well it worked. I have a mix of doors running under QEMU, DOSEMU and working on some EMU2 and DOSEMU2 based setups. 

TL;DR: Linux is awesome.
