    Wouldnt it be just better to run wine with a translation layer? Windows vm will just eat half of the resources

    Mini PCs with a n100 or used office PCs are probably not that much more expensive and a much better alternative, if your goal is to run windows on them and you don’t already have the Raspberry Pi lying around.

    Seems like a pointless exercise.

    If anything, it would be more interesting to run a full x86 emulator to install Windows 98 / Windows XP to run older games. There are games that work better on native Windows 98 than via compatibility mode on W10.

      The pi 5 is a lot more powerful than you’d expect. At least when cooled properly.

      I wouldn’t expect a great experience, but as the article says: Older games (like 10-15 years ago) and web games should work ok.

      This is definitely more of a because you can, than a primary computing experience.
