Reviving DOS: A USB-Bootable Writing Machine for the 21st Century

The sheer size and complexity of modern operating systems, even open-source ones, often evokes nostalgia for the days of DOS. A simple, lightweight OS, DOS could boot from three files and configuration was a matter of editing a couple of text files. Now, a community project offers a USB-bootable DOS experience, pre-loaded with classic writing applications like WordPerfect and Arnor Protext. This provides a distraction-free writing environment for those seeking to disconnect from the internet. While limited in functionality, it offers a surprisingly efficient and focused writing experience, harkening back to a simpler time.
