    RH 6.1 is EOL thus should not be used. I would recommend Debian 12

      I remember I made a thread asking for advice running an older version of Linux for funsies and to experience it and unironically someone said something along those lines to me, like “uhm Linux isn’t windows you can use modern packages and new distros support older hardware” like ughh

        There is truth to it. You can make any modern Linux work like the older versions

          That’s true, and you can make Windows XP look like '98, but is it really what retro enthusiasts would want?
