Great to see this magazine here - makes it much easier to abandon Reddit.

What interests you about retro/vintage OSes? It mostly brings back memories when operating systems were more unique. Linux-based OS are becoming way more mainstream and kinda boring these days and especially Microsoft Windows totally lost its track. I love tinkering around with OS like older Unices (HP-UX, Solaris) or Windows 3.x-XP and DOS.
What was the first OS you used as a kid? MS-DOS 5.0 and Windows 3.1
What is your current OS you use? Fedora 38 and Pop!_OS 22.04

Lovely project, too bad it's abandoned.

The problem I have with Snap is that it's a rather mediocre over-engineered technology (e.g. decompressing images had poor performance for a long time; see the Firefox snap drama) that is pushed very hard by Canonical. It has a closed-source market and nobody knows what Canonical does on their side for performing anti-malware scans (that haven't been very reliable in the past). That's not how open-source works. We want to have a decentral approach like Flatpak repositories have.
Flatpak is my default, but sometimes I also use AppImages.
