I recently installed dosbox on my rpi, and it made me seriously consider how hard it would be to modernize all that old software.

Desktop apps were mostly better, and were all much faster on the rpi than native alternatives are on my recent $2700 laptop.

Edit: modernize = app store for abandonware + docker-alike for dos instances.

GOG already does this for old games. But there’s a much bigger retro gaming following than there is a market sector for folk who just prefer older applications.
