I recall dual booting BeOS circa 1999/2000, on my 486dx2-66. It was shockingly performant, especially with anything graphical. The difficulty was no apps. Brings back fond memories, nonetheless.

If only for the UI. Back then, all bring white and beige and Windows blue screenofdesthblye. Be OS was pure joy, if only to play around with. Many third-party developers (remember sharewsre) took s liking to the Be aesthetic and ran away with it.
