I recently bought a Xiaomi Pad 6 (8-core CPU, 8 GB RAM, 256 GB storage) to use as an ultra-lightweight “laptop” – at just 490 g. Here are my observations on what works, what doesn’t, and a few tips for anyone looking to replicate this experiment.

This was a very successful experiment and I’m happy with the results (...) GNOME on-screen keyboard sucks (...) I would also try to get a Xiaomi Pad 6S Pro 12.4″ with 12GB of RAM because of the larger screen and to get a bit more room to emulate old stuff.

Hello,

I'm looking for a high resolution image of the PAL cover from the Dreamcast (I believe).

There was this website covergalaxy that used it have in 2382x2382 but all the content seems to be gone. Here's the cache https://ibb.co/nRMhjgw . Internet archive doesn't have it.

Much appreciated!

Here is what I don't get about Wine. Even in 2023 it seems to fail to handle basic Windows software written in 1996-1995 like the classic convert.exe (https://joshmadison.com/convert-for-windows/). This program and others run flawless in ReactOS for instance, why not under Wine?

Another things I don't get include:

• Why is Wine is still stuck on that Windows 98 style GUI instead of a more modern thing;
• Flickering;
• How can ReactOS, that shares code with Wine, run everything way more smoothly?

For reference I'm using Debian 12, Wine 8.0. Also tried with Soda 7.0, same results.
