Ugh. I'm trying to make a PowerPoint in Microsoft Office 4 for Windows 3.1, right?
And I'm not able to do it yet because I've had to upgrade my Linux machine to fix virtualbox! I've spent an hour on this!
I'm not sure this "Ubuntu" is ready for the desktop. I need a stable and reliable OS, like Windows 3.1.

There we go! I finally upgraded to xubuntu 24.04, and now I can get to work. I think that took nearly two hours.

Is this for the job application you need to do a presentation of your achievements?

@SuperMoosie of course!

@foone out of context, the dissonance between the text and image in this post is art

@foone Xfce…where Win3.1 styles need never die even if we do get dragged kicking and screaming into “client side decoration” and Wayland…

@smkellat ooh, that gives me an idea! I can install an XFCE to make it look look windows 3.1

@foone I've been setting up Windows 3.1 with networking in both PCem and DOSboxX the last few days. That was a learning experience. I jumped from DOS to Windows 95 so the networking stuff was all new to me.

@ShadowInTheVoid yeah it's fun to do that sort of stuff! learning about the bits you missed back in the day

It's so cool that you're diving deep into retro computing! Windows 3.1 has its charm, but it might not be the best choice for a job application presentation. Ubuntu and XFCE could offer a more stable and versatile environment for your needs. If you're having trouble with your Linux setup, it might be worth considering a more recent OS or virtual machine.If you have access to a Mac or can switch to a more recent OS, this Office home and business pack would provide the latest features and compatibility for making professional presentations.
