As a kid, I had a 486DX2-66 computer with a EGA monitor, and I was very frustrated that Windows 95 didn't support it.
I didn't know back then that I could just copy EGA.DRV from Windows 3.1 to Windows 95, and it would work. Just don't let Windows detect the hardware, or it might think you have ATI VGA or something, and brick your OS.
Now I'm frustrated that Windows 95 doesn't support CGA drivers from Windows 3; for the reason that Windows 3.1 itself uses CGA, EGAMONO and EGAHIBW written for Windows 3.0.
Of course I tried recompiling the driver with new windows.inc and resources mandatory for Windows 3.1; it didn't help. I suspect this might be related to new GDI features e.g. RC_BIGFONT or RC_PALETTE...
okay, after not getting an answer for an hour on that, I'm officially worried. does anyone have an ACTIVE way to contact wolfman2000/"dance dad" (who used to be on GDQ streams) other than their discord? I strongly suspect their account has been stolen
EDIT: confirmed that it's stolen and confirmed that they're aware
Thank you @elly for hooking me up with a new coreboot build for an old thinkpad x220!!
She even created this amazing boot splash for me ๐คฃ

for what it's worth, I *do* think there is too much shit talking in free software, and I think it *has* harmed the mental health of maintainers in general. i don't know what to do about it though.
