New Video: "Baby Boris" the HP Enterprise Gen10 MicroServer was recently decommissioned from my place of work. So let's have some fun with it before it gets pressed back in to service as a boring old NAS!

New Video: We already know that Bazzite Linux is great for modern day Steam games. But how will it handle my physical big box DOS and Windows collection? Turns out it's better than even I expected.

One of my favourite games of all time and I remember this issue too - so much so that I got all excited and took a photo of it in when I spotted it in the Retro Computer Museum Leicester's archives last year 😁

New Video: It seems like just a short few years ago, "Linux Gaming" was something of a punchline - but not any longer, thanks to efforts like Valve's Proton and distributions like Bazzite. But is it finally good enough to be the final nail in the coffin for Windows?

New Video: The last macOS release to officially support this 2008 Intel MacPro 3,1 was El Capitan way back in 2015, and that hasn't received any security updates since 2018! So let's run a bang up to date release instead, thanks to a community project known as OCLP.
