If you have an old computer at home that has been sitting around in a corner somewhere, you can use Lakka to turn it into a retro gaming console like the PlayStation/Xbox. You may already learn about several Linux distributions that specialize in reviving old computers, but you may not know this Linux distro that is specifically designed to transform old computers into a full-blown retro game console.

Puppy Linux is one of the earliest lightweight Linux distributions, originally developed by Barry Kauler from Australia in 2003 (which is still active today). It is a very reliable operating system for both old computers and new Linux users! It is small in size, simple in structure, fast in speed, and comes with a wealth of drivers and applications. Even better, it can be installed and run directly on storage devices like external hard disks and USB flash drives (that is, it can be booted from any computer that supports BIOS and UEFI).

Ubuntu has become bloated and extremely slow (even has started to follow the trend of quickly refreshing the version number, and indulges in this disgusting behavior) for a long time, and its requirements for hardware configuration has far exceed those of Windows now. In other words, running an Ubuntu OS today means making your computer fan spinning at a full jump all the time. The noise of fan alone is painful enough. As a result, more and more people are abandoning Ubuntu, meanwhile increasing lightweight alternatives has emerged and are emerging, and many of them are even able to run smoothly on a USB device, not to mention HDD or SSD. Thereinto, Manjaro is one of the best.

When Commodore 64 (AKA: C64, CBM 64) was launched by Commodore International in 1982, it immediately set industry standards for the 8-bit home computer. Its low cost, excellent graphics effect, high-quality sound and 64 KB of extra physical memory quickly established it as the winner in the home computer war, thus beating out its many competitors such as Atari, Texas Instruments, Sinclair, Apple and IBM.

UAE (originally called Unusable Amiga Emulator, AKA: Unix Amiga Emulator) is a free, full-featured and cross-platform hardware emulator of Commodore International's Amiga computers. It was released in 1995 and has been ported to many other operating systems. There are five main forks (WinUAE, PUAE, FS-UAE, UAE4ALL, Scripted Amiga Emulator (SAE)) of the original UAE now. Thereinto, WinUAE is the most active fork, which is specially designed to run on Windows.
