@freedosproject@fosstodon.org really I remember DOS & directory manager as a kid, and at that point computers did all that really was needed, clear through to today.
*Better graphics is nice, as is speed of getting onto the internet & sharing videos on it but that's about the only real improvements I've seen.
This is a mainstay of why I intend on switching to linux as I want something similar to DOS & Directory Manager, from windows which used to mimic DM in functionality but hasn't done so in about 20-25 years.

@BrahmaBelarusian@regenerate.social @freedosproject@fosstodon.org Huh. I started out on PDP-11s and used MS-DOS professionally for a few years. Lemme tell ya, multi-task//mult-iuser is a Great Thing. I remember having to stop everything on the machine to edit a file, then restart it again after. Ugh. Unix was a huge step forward. I run Debian these days.
