It runs? I guess. Neither Sim City 2000 nor Warcraft II could start. Is this just another enscripten rush port or something?

This project is a nice resume badge. Just wish it was called that
I'm not sure how many people will remember this, but macOS 8 came with a program called Hotline, who's main activity was "publishing and distribution of a multi-purpose client/server communication software." Most people I knew used it to pirate software and MP3s. The way most of us used it was we'd find a server that had something we wanted (software, a crack, or music), and the login would be password protected. The…
Hotline didn't come bundled with the OS but was definitely good times. Edit: oh and Carracho!
You know what's nice? The 13" (rescaled) 4:3 screen is easier to read than my current setup. Also, the menu's are nice and short. Very focus. I totally understand how I, and many people in the past, were able to pump out huge amounts of code in a week

Of course you can always run dwm on linux with a hodgepodge of makeshift utility apps, write your own keybinds to set your brightness and volume and other such inanities, but in order to get a 'complete' desktop experience you kinda have to opt-in to GNOME/KDE which are trying to do the same things as Apple or Microsoft, aesthetically speaking. And tough luck if you actually use Apple or Microsoft to begin with. I tried running bug.n and it seems to not work in win10, let alone win11.
