As save-games and configs of my GOG Linux games are normally(!) outside of the installation folders (found them in my home-folder, under .local or .config), I simply install such new version .sh file into the same locations (overwriting the existing installation). But I do not know for sure, if this is the best solution in all cases.

Anyway you can easily try it by yourself after backing up your game-folder (simply zip it). This way you will not lose anything if overwriting game files will mess something up.

EDIT: maybe it is worth finding the save-game/config folder and back it up, too. Just in case the new version messes with config files.

Might be handled and freshly archived on https://archive.org/ if I understand this Message from Jason Scott correctly.

But this should not stop anyone from mirroring the Hobbes OS/2 Archive, too.

Many thanks OP for starting this thread and also big thank you to all suggesting Mull and Mulch. I was not aware of those apps and will try out both of them.

Here are some links to start from:

• DivestOS website with information about their apps: https://divestos.org/pages/our_apps
• Mull directly from F-Droid: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/us.spotco.fennec_dos/
• Mulch only from DivestOS F-Droid Repo: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/us.spotco.mulch/ - must enable repo first!

I really liked the Bromite browser on my mobiles, but unfortunately it did not get (security) updates for a longer time. From the many discussions in the Issue tracker asking about status of the project, I could not get a clear clue about the situation, but fact is that the last Bromite release is from Dec 2022.

From here Bromite is Dead, Use Cromite Instead I learned about and tried to switch to Cromite, but on my 32-bit Android devices it is still very unstable.

Definitely dislike MS, generations of my workstations have small, yellow “Microsoft Free Workstation” stickers on their monitors, but VSCodium (in my case) is not really bad.

Also I really like the Xbox360 console and (as a hacker and maker) still love the first Kinnect. The Kinnect is an excellent piece of sensor-hardware, was rather cheap when purchased in used condition and it works very well with Linux.

… and it even runs Doom: POOM - A Doom port running on the PICO-8

It is never too* late to learn and correct what we hold for true. I like the idea behind this website. Thanks for sharing.

*EDIT: learned & corrected to to too.

Several of the items hit the nail for me (German), too.

May Organic Maps Offline Hike, Bike, GPS Navigation be something for you? (found in https://feddit.de/post/3646471)

The German Feddit was down for quite a while, but if this counts for 200 servers I do not know.

Thank you very much for sharing 🙂

Thank you for your detailed explanation and the wiki link 🙂. Good to hear that this (side-) topic is on the agenda.

As mentioned, I really appreciate your work around education and awareness of FOSS principles and chances
and I wish you a nice (remaining) Software Freedom Day.

Looks like a really nice and useful initiative.

Thank you very much for sharing, this page is really great!

Yes indeed. It would also work (at least similarly) for the VIC-20 and other Commodore computers 🧑‍🏫

Or … 99 has a more uncommon meaning for me 🤓

(in reality the hardware in question was brand new hottest stuff when I was young)

I know what you mean, but who are this “double click” and “exe” guys?

• Press RUN/STOP and SHIFT.

• PRESS PLAY ON TAPE

• Press PLAY on tape.

• OK
  SEARCHING
  FOUND Ultimate Game II

• Take walk with the dog.
• Play game.

Do you mean that the filesystem itself had optimization so that searching from the command line (find, grep) was fast?

Or do you think more into the direction of the desktop apps Finder and Librarian?

At least I remember the Librarian.app was great for indexing and quickly searching through large amount of texts (from various formats).

Thanks alot for the details.

Very interesting, I did not know that the Mac SE/30 and the (cheapest) NeXTstation had comparable prices.

What I knew (for here in Germany) was that PCs were expensive (compared to today), but much cheaper than the Macs and NeXTs.
