Hi, i have found a few distros that i have questions for.
i found: Vampire os(is this one active), if so, do games run well?
Reborn os: how well do games run on this one?
midnightBSD: is this one any good? will my games run?
lonero os: what about this one?
elive: for this one?
there is also haiku. but, that one is still in beta phases.
my games are: doom, quake, wolfenstein, age of mythology, starcraft, war of the ring, age of empires, sas secure tomorrow, resident evil 1-5, blood, duke nukem 3d, shadow warrior, halo, metro and etc?
my games are mainly cd games. games from zoom game platform.
Funnily, I think the distro doesn’t matter too much. I would go for a distro which uses the latest versions of software so you get the latest support for your hardware.
As a retro enthusiast I can say that classic games should work very well. I’m on Fedora and it runs these just fine. So should other distros.
Yeah. Just play with it. Tip: the latest version of dosbox staging is always available from their github page ( Releases · dosbox-staging/dosbox-staging · GitHub ). You can place it in a directory in your home directory and point the custom runner field to it. And also ScummVM is a very nice system to play a multitude of classic games.
Hope this helps you further on your retro journey.
