Do yourself a favor and give this distro a try, especially if you are a retrogamer fan. Warning, it’s HUGE (38 gigs, I recommend the torrent)
9 year old me would have FREAKED at how awesome this is. Yes, it’s gaudy. Would I use it every day? probably not. But I am going to have it on another hard drive to fire up when I’m feeling fun! (yes, I realize compiz is 15 years old, I had just forgotten about it ha!)

The forums are up to date and super helpful. I had a little trouble getting it to run on Mint in Virtualbox but just had to change a couple settings (it’s laid out in the forum easily).
Even if you don’t end up installing it for real, if you’re like me you’ll want to steal the startup sound for your own machine!
Also, if you’re into this, give Atari OS a try as well- though it’s no where near as cool, and a lot more stripped down.
The operative word is not in that sentence. It’s mostly people getting back into the old systems. i.e. middle aged guys wanting to relive their youth.
There’ll be a handful of curious young people, I’m sure, but it’s mostly old men with disposable income wearing their rose-tinted spectacles. Perifractic is no exception.
