I forgot about DesqView, I ran it briefly before I took the dive into
OS/2.

If possible I'll keep running for my junk for awhile. Mystic BBS on a
Pi, those are cheap enough to replace as needed. And the OS/2 BBS is in
a VM right now, but I just got a ThinkPad that I'll be moving it to
fairly soon. And Thinkpads are a dime a dozen on Ebay, so that's
maintainable as well. 

I still use Windows and Chromebooks day to day. I would happily run
OS/2 for it all, but it's not keeping up with the rest of the OS world.
I like linux, but it is lacking in the software realm as well - at
least for me (gaming, emulation, etc)
