Instead of using old proprietary shit you could use Linux or *BSD with a vintage desktop environment and have a blast

Something I noticed is that basic users (someone using a fucking 30 y/o OS is definitely one) have an easier time with *nix because most "technical" people are overfitted and brainwashed to the Micro$uck ecosystem

If a system is extremely old you can use Alpine Linux with no desktop environment

I think i still have a copy of this OS. Along with NT4.0 and various others. I hoard stuff like this.
