Swap is a thing. It'll kinda suck, but not as much as it would have pre-nvme. Except that now there's an nvme shortage... and an SSD shortage.
Ugh, I guess I'll just put Windows 2000/ME on there to complete the retro look.
One is good, but slower, the other is more buggy than 98SE, but a bit faster. Not much in common between them other than year.
I don't think that the NVMe shortage is that big of a deal in terms of using it for swap. It's much cheaper than DRAM per GB. You don't need thst much.
