That's even worse then, because there's a conflict between what's displayed and how you interact with it.

Even KDE has started to fall into the modern UI trappings. For example the taskbar somewhat recently became rounded and detached from the screen edges making it more annoying to reach the start button or the clock widget. But at least you can still configure it to how it used to be.

It's not the same at all. 86box emulates the whole PC, every component and peripheral. NTVDM is just a compatibility layer.

Not true. I have an old laptop with no TPM and it still bugs me to upgrade to Windows 11, even though it doesn't meet the hardware requirements.

> Even Linux supports running 64-bit code in a 32-bit address space ("x32 ABI") for this reason.

I don't think that ever had much, if any, adoption and it looks like it will be removed in the next few releases.

It's more of a QML competitor. I don't think it has anything comparable to QtWidgets.

You're talking past each other, about different articles.

86box is a PC emulator, not a compatibility layer.

It says 32-bit support completely removed, so I doubt it.

I played it back when it came out on a P166 in software mode and it was fine at that resolution.

You don't need the 16GB model to watch movies, you can do that on the cheapest ones.
