I did something i never thought possible. I setup a windows xp virtual machine using qemu in devuan. It sucks in a bad way, i cant believe i used to waste time tinkering on that pos operating system years ago. I mean the xp system works perfectly in qemu which is a testament to qemu and the virtual software in debian/devuan.

Other than tinkering with old microsoft crap im using alpine linux on an encrypted usb for real life transactions.
