    one thing comes to mind.
    its the good old days of intel macs and the utter lack of games on linux. if you wanted to play sth, on a mac, you needed to dualboot windows :/
    ofc that doesn’t really make sense nowadays…

      Because Apple doesn’t provide drivers to their proprietary chips. That’s why there’s a whole reverse engineering effort for that in the form of Asahi Linux.

  It conforts me knowing there is a little magical guy in my computer that installs my software for me.

    Keep him well fed and your system will run like a well oiled Sterling engine.

  I doubt “InstallShield” protected the family computer from the dumb things I installed on it… but it’s comforting to imagine it did something.
