EDIT: virt-manager + qemu seems satisfactory for my needs, thanks!

@aeva It's always been qemu for me
I used to use virt-manager to configure it but nowadays I just have shell scripts -

I think it's cute that virt-manager doesn't seem to have an option to provide no network device at all

I don't know why I have a Windows 98 SE installer iso in my downloads folder, but now I also don't know why I'm making a Windows 98 SE virtual machine, so at least there's symmetry now.

@aeva imagine being an uploaded consciousness from 1998 that gets passed around bittorrent and installed in virtual environments by late 2000s consciousness enthusiasts

oh right this thing needs a product key

my Haiku VM finished installing first 😎

some how the windows 98 install ended up with a missing dll and explorer can't run. oh well.

@aeva virt-install has --network=none #unhelpfultip

my first impression of Haiku is positive so far. it feels like a late 20th century power user operating system from when they figured out how to make late 20th century operating systems real good (which is unsurprising given the project's history and goals). the prominent included manual is a nice touch.
also, i'm equal parts relieved and disappointed that the terminal is just bash and all the familiar unix userspace and nothing mind expanding.

@aeva if you are gardening lot of OS, you could try openbsd :)

@aeva Oh, thank you for reminding me that Haiku exists! I've been meaning to try it someday and maybe that day is coming up.

@aeva BeOS was awesome! On MacOS PowerPC clone hardware, it was amazing. On Wintel hardware, it was pretty great too. Haiku is okay- 20+ years & still no version 1.0. It still doesn't have a good PIM (Personal Info Mgmt) app like MS Outlook. There was somebody trying to port Thunderbird two yrs ago, but I don't know if that project cont'd. Support for Secure Boot is problematic, so it's difficult to install as dual-boot w/ Win (for genuine support / no flags). People recommend Falkon Web browser

@klara it's cute. it seems like a solid contender if you've got a machine where you are not particularly concerned with having a working GPU

I'm so close to getting Mollytime building on Haiku (without an audio backend), but despite having the same version of clang available as the one I've been using to build Mollytime on fedora, the c++ standard library appears to not have all of the C++23 features I need

also their version of pybind11 is a touch out of date and is missing a feature I need

@aeva I’d love to give that a try — seems I’m not the only one on here using Haiku!

@heals see if you can figure out how to compile this with llvm20_clang or gcc https://godbolt.org/z/Kaac4anqM

@heals I would say "attempting to use Haiku" is more accurate at the moment :) I've only installed it in a vm
