SvarDOS is an open-source project that is meant to integrate the best out of the currently available DOS tools, drivers and games. DOS development has been abandoned by commercial players a long time ago, mostly during early nineties. Nowadays it survives solely through the efforts of hobbyists and retro-enthusiasts, but this is a highly sparse and unorganized ecosystem. SvarDOS aims to collect available DOS software and make it easy to find and install applications using a network-enabled package manager (like apt-get, but for DOS and able to run on a 8086 PC).

I expect a calm and decent discussion. I don't like something being called a joke, when people have put hours of work into it. I don't expect everyone to like a project and criticism can be valid, but there are much better ways to to critisize something.

    It is indeed possible to criticize a thing without engaging in yum-yucking.

    Expect as you like. Jokes are, as they are. Not much to be said about Haiku, its a joke.
    Really. Get over yourself.
    Its ok if I don't like something. I'm not disagreeing with your or criticizing your post. Check Lemvotes. I upvote you.
    I'm a bit bemused by all this fragility displayed, but I'm sure we will all get past it.

    I know you are not disagreeing with me. This is not about me. I already told I couple times my problem is not that do not like something. My problem is they way to express your disliking. Which you are have hard time understanding. I totally fine not liking and you have every right to critique something. But you do not have to be rude about it.
