    The Haiku website. (Pull requests are accepted; please file issues at https://dev.haiku-os.org). (by haiku)

    You can use Rufus: https://rufus.ie/en/

    To modify the ISO to turn off hardware check and TPM support for Windows 11 to install it on an unsupported PC.

    https://github.com/pbatard/rufus/wiki/FAQ#user-content-Help_...

    Besides Linux and BSD Unix there is: https://reactos.org/ https://aros.sourceforge.io/ https://www.haiku-os.org/ and https://www.arcanoae.com/arcaos/

    I know some third-world nations still use DOS and the BORLAND DOS compilers because people donate old computers to their nations.

    With the right OS, old computers are still usable. Please don't throw them away, e-cycle them so they get used by poor nations that cannot afford new PCs.
