Those can be even more rare than games.

As a sysadmin I had to find drivers for a scanner from epson from 1992 and if it wasnt for a internet archive floppy save. I wouldn’t have made it work. Our municipality uses some stone age things for the archives

Haha, Indeed.

I do realize I only used debian for server type stuff where I didnt need a GUI so the stakes where a lot lower than for the others.

On my xps 13 9370 I run endeavourOS without a hitch.

I don’t wanna be an ubuntu hater, but apart from lubuntu for quick recoveries. I never had good luck making hardware work right with ubuntu.

Debian, arch and fedora always worked way better out of the box on bare metal.

I don’t have much advice in whats best, I would guess Github indeed followed by review and uploading important things to internet archive.

But I wanted to just be thankfull, preserving old media is extremely usefull and without people like you who wanna do it. I wouldn’t have been able to play some old obscure games I remember from my youth. Or old software like goomaker 5.4 (it distorted images to make funny faces)

So good luck and thank you

Knowing the frame material will help.

Wood you can gently steam and then bend back to where it lays flat. Lightly steam is the key word. Anything too damp and it will warp more.

Plastic can be heated to pull flat, but depends a lot on what and how.

If it a canvas, try to see if pulling one corner doesnt make it flat. That means it needs a staple or 2 to pull it tight.

Mine was an alfa romeo mito anniversary edition in milan grey.

Bought one but 6 months later the engine was done for.

My attainable dreamcar right now is a ID.buzz because I could take it anywhere and camp around. (But its overpriced).

Any JDM makes me soft, but can’t find modded or trashed ones where I am so they are not the way for me. I need a daily driver.

My all time dreamcar is the Lamborghini Siesto Elemento but is unobtainium.
