Bazzite, Batocera and Nobara

Looking for Windows 11 alternatives? Or want some linux distribution.. here are three linux os to try and who knows how many there are out there i don t know lol

Bazzite makes gaming and everyday use smoother and simpler across desktop PCs, handhelds, tablets, and home theater PCs.

Batocera.linux is an open-source and completely free retro-gaming distribution that can be copied to a USB stick or an SD card with the aim of turning any computer/nano computer into a gaming console during a game or permanently. Batocera.linux does not require any modification on your computer. Note that you must own the games you play in order to comply with the law.

The Nobara Project is a modified version of Fedora Linux with user-friendly fixes added to it. Fedora is a very good workstation OS, however, anything involving any kind of 3rd party or proprietary packages is usually absent from a fresh install.

DosBox-X

From the Author Site:

DOSBox-X is an open-source DOS emulator for running DOS applications and games.

DOS-based Windows such as Windows 3.x and Windows 9x are officially supported.

Compared to DOSBox, DOSBox-X is much more flexible and provides more features.

Look at the DOSBox-X Wiki for more information about DOSBox-X and usage guides.

We also hope that DOSBox-X (along with DOSLIB) can aid in new DOS development.
