Maybe I'm mistaken, but I recall a video where Linus mentioned a site for downloading or buying old games for Windows 10. Was that really you? Do you remember the website? I'm nostalgic and thinking about classic games like Pink Panther. Thanks in advance!

It might have been GOG, but they don’t have the pink panther =(. Regarding the old games, my main worry is viruses—back in my day abandonware could sometimes crash antivirus programs.

People often mix up different types of software licenses. Abandonware refers to programs that developers have stopped supporting, so sharing full details isn't a priority. These terms were common in the late 90s and early 2000s, with shareware and freeware being similar. The old meaning usually describes a demo or trial version meant to be exchanged for physical copies, while today's free software allows unrestricted use from the start.
