Meh. Although Linux gives you the freedom to skin your desktop, why skin your way there when you can try out the real thing on a Raspberry Pi [0] with real x86 Windows apps running on it rather than just only x86 DOS games.

If you want a DOS-flavored pi, check out the dosbian project, from the same guy who made combian64: https://cmaiolino.wordpress.com/dosbian/

Your provided link doesn’t mention the ability to run x86 windows apps on arm windows. Is this actually a thing?

From the link:

> Unlike IoT, Windows 10 ARM is ARM-targeted spin of the OS, which comes with a traditional desktop and Win32 apps support via emulation.
