EmpathicQubitI have been using <a href="https://mastodon.de/tags/WindowsServer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WindowsServer</a> Core as a development VM, because I need to test my program for Windows users. I know this isn't recommended, because Server Core doesn't have much of a GUI, and is missing a lot of GUI-related libraries, so some stuff doesn't work right, however, VSCode (and Visual Studio) work just fine, and I've been getting by with Powershell, 7zfm, Retrobar (substitute taskbar), and Floorp (Firefox mod). The GTK version of <a href="https://mastodon.de/tags/VICEEmulator" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VICEEmulator</a> doesn't work, so I've been using the SDL2 one.I think I like this in some ways more than using actual Windows.
