Here's an overview of the operating systems supported in v86:
- Linux works pretty well. Graphical boot fails in many versions, but you
mostly get a shell. The mouse is often not detected automatically.
- Damn Small Linux (2.4 Kernel): Works, takes circa 10 minutes to boot.
- Tinycore (3.0 kernel): `udev` and `X` fail, but you get a
terminal.

- Nanolinux works.
- Archlinux works with some caveats. See [archlinux.md](docs/archlinux.md).
- Damn Small Linux (2.4 Kernel): Doesn't work.
- ReactOS works
- FreeDOS, Windows 1.01 and MS-DOS run very well.
- KolibriOS works. A few applications need SSE.
