@humanhorseshoes There's always a part of me that feels deeply sad that OS/2 "lost", but on the other side, if it hadn't I would have not felt like it was "either this, or Windows" with Linux. For a brief shining moment, I had four primary partitions - one for the boot manager, one for OS/2, one for Windows/MS-DOS, and one for Linux. I even ran Maximus BBS and toughed it out with patching OS/2 to talk to my even-then-antiquated Mitsumi LU005S single spin CD-ROM.
I had, what my friends said was ridiculous, 20MB of system RAM on my 486dx2/66

@genericperson I was given the task of removing OS/2 from customer machines when I worked for IBM and some came with a choice of which OS to install and 99% chose Windoze. Always felt like a downgrade

@genericperson It's 30 years ago now but I had a model 56 replaced by a model 85 or 90 that was constantly being taken apart and upgraded because we had pretty much infinite bits to mess around with. I think I had 2 hard disks and a super long SCSI cable and extended power to have a CD drive that wasn't mounted to anything solid
