Yeah funny times we life in, from Oracle you get a free enterprise linux, from Microsoft a opensoured MSDOS 1.0 ;)

Edit: Correction, MSDOS 1.25 and 2.0 was released too

Oracle basically rebuilds RHEL. It's not a tiny feat, but it was done by small teams for CentOS, Scientific Linux and other RHEL rebuilds. Real distribution work is done by RHEL/IBM.

Microsoft released their own Linux: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/microsoft-released-cbl-mar...

As far as opensource DOS, nothing beats FreeDOS: https://www.freedos.org/

>>CBL-Mariner is an internal Linux distribution for Microsoft’s cloud infrastructure and edge products and services.

Oh yes please...i want that universal Linux Distribution ;)

>nothing beats FreeDOS

Dosbox and dosbox-x beat FreeDOS anyday.

Call me when you can run real drivers in DOSBox-X.

And, still, XDOSemu+FreeDOS runs circles over DOSBox and DOSBox-x.

That's exactly what i don't want.

>And, still, XDOSemu+FreeDOS runs circles over DOSBox and DOSBox-x.

No, not really have you even installed FreeDOS once? BTW the FreeDOS developers will perfectly tell you that they have no interest in being dos game focused...and you can feel that 50% of all games just refuse to run...that's not the case with MSDOS 5.22.

I can feel that your comment is utterly bullshit.

FreeDOS runs the 99% of software and drivers available for DOS.

Feelings are not reality ;)

BTW: What DOS are you talking about?
