I'd be a happy boy if there continued to be more and more ARM
architecture desktop OS softwares and distros.
I remember seeing something about Win10 on an ARM sbc. IIRC it was very barebones, set up to run an app or two and select processes.

I haven't seen Windows 10 for ARM myself. But I imagine they may get it to

From what I recall breading about it, it was a stripped down version for industrial or IoT stuff. Instead of a full desktop, it would be more of a simplified GUI and only the services needed to perform it's designated task. For example, a touch panel controlling a climate control system or an ATM machine could run off an ARM system and not need all the services neded for a desktop system or server to function.

Interesting.. I've heard about devices like Microsoft's Surface Pro X, which sounds like it's aimed at consumers and has Windows 10 for ARM with a regular desktop:

Yup, so Windows 10 on ARM is a thing: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/arm/
In theory, Synchronet would even run (on an emulated 32-bit x86 processor, apparently) - maybe even 16-bit DOS doors!

That would be interesting.
A hell of a lot cheaper to run a rPi than an Intel NUC, although some
of the NUCs are pretty beefy - Celeron processors, SATA connectors, regular SIMM slots...

I'm not sure about running DOS doors on a Raspberry Pi though..

I haven't seen anyone run any of my local games in I don't know how
long. I've been using BBSlink's gateway for most of the games here.

I so want a Raspberry Pi Windows 10 IoT running a stripped down GUI
with just Synchronet now. Just 'cuz.
I've been using my BBS machine for other stuff too (such as a Plex media server), so I'd want something that's enough for the things I'm using it for. My current BBS machine is a bit old now but still seems to be okay for what I'm using it for.
I don't play doors, so hard to comment on this one... but can't help but think that the dedicated multi-bbs door servers might be a better way to go, with local messages if you're wanting to run on an RPi anyway.
