Operating Systems

I installed Fedora on my PC to try out as my daily driver. I loved the experience except for a few irritations that eventually got me back to using Windows.

I previously discussed how to emulate Mac OS 8 and 9 on modern computers. Recently, I was shown Infinite Mac, a website that allows emulation of these and earlier Mac OS versions directly in your browser. From System 1.0 to Mac OS 9.2.2, most major releases are available. This suite offers a convenient and innovative way to experience classic Mac OS without downloads or installations.

In this post, I decided it would be fun to write a list of technologies and experiences that show my age in technology.

I bought an old PowerMac G3 Blue and White. In this article, I try to get Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar installed on the system.

I bought an old PowerMac G3 Blue and White. First, I performed some maintenance, then I upgraded some hardware.

Macintosh.js is an open-source project that runs Mac OS 8. It emulates a 1991 Macintosh Quadra and runs the full operating system with a few applications.

Until about two years ago, I was exclusively a Mac user, but Windows 11 has me rethinking that.

It’s not news that the EU has passed a law that requires Apple to open up iOS to third-party app stores, but their compliance is questionable at best.

I came across an article today that discussed efforts being made to create an open-source technology to make UI development in Swift on Windows possible.

Some programmers stick to a single operating system or technology stack, but I like to experiment and try new things out. That means, however, that I often jump back and forth between platforms: particularly between Windows and Mac.

An operating system that was released 25 years ago and required an entire computer to run can now instead be run in a browser window with an interpreted language.

I don’t like clutter. In fact, I am very picky about what I install on my computer which is one reason I love virtual machines to experiment with new technologies.
