If Jow Forums is so worried about bloat, and also backdoors, why not just use the OS which as source code so small you could peruse it in an afternoon?

Why when better alternatives like Haiku and AmigaOS exist?
Zachary Stewart
Haiku is several hundred MB. Amiga may be a contender to OP's point.
Grayson Mitchell
5 1/2" floppies are better

The Arachne web browser for DOS
...BUT... i don't know if Jow Forums recognizes it as an accepted browser. Someone on Jow Forums once posted that they posted using Netscape, and were banned for using a browser not recognized.

Besides that, you can install MS-DOS just fine on modern hardware.
Nathan Lewis
>you can install DOS on modern hardware
no you cant
but there is a lot of point in making a modern DOS (FreeDOS isnt it)
somebody should make a DOS which supports:
multiple CPUs so if a software can utilize multiplel CPU or cores, it has possibility to do so
CPU power states: you can adjust a runlevel into different state depending on the CPU speed you need, obviously it shoulndt require 100% of CPU core all the time
support for more than a few megabytes of memory (memory mapping scheme from a few megabytes up to several gigabytes)
support for large hard drives
NO SUPPORT FOR LEGACY DOS SOFTWARE (why would you need it anyway, supporting it would mean you need to make FreeDOS once again)

I think, I don't know, but
wiki.freedos.org
Then install a browser
ibiblio.org
is where I would start. Probably a custom 4channel app after that.
Definitely test in a vm.

Im not worried about bloat
Alll i need is muh debian and muh suckless tools you nigger cock sucking inbred faggot
Christopher Morgan
There's a difference between "not bloated" and "without functions, practically useless".
DOS and suckless fit in the latter.
Oliver Peterson
There is without functions, practically useless and KDE.
Suckless fit in the latter
Grayson Powell
>no you cant
Yes you can. In fact, I've done so. At one point I had split my hard drive up into three partitions: DOS on the first one, then Windows 8.1 on the second, and then Linux on the third.
There is, literally nothing, stopping you from installing it on your system right now.
