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

Losing a dear pet never is easy, but try to find solace in the idea you where his whole life (of the biggest part of it). You gave your pet the best he could have had.

There is now forever a paw marked on your heart.

I have 2 cats, but have a room dedicated to sheltering old cats. Tl;dr I'm a palliative care unit for a local shelter and I deal with a lot of loss.

What keeps me going is that I do truly believe I give them the best "end" of their life and that even of their stays are short. I gave them all the love I have.

Feel free to reach out to me of u wanna talk, share, reminesce or just simply ask questions.

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.

Megarace.. one of the first games I bought because the boxart spoke to me. Stayed for the music and vibes but never fully understood the game. (I was 5-6)
