Linux first-timer here - I'm getting ready to make a Linux Mint drive, and I want to put as many of my games on it as possible, including everything I have from the DOS days.
I'm used to using DOSBox, so my question is, which version from their download page should I download to run on Mint?
Showing some new additions since last time :)
Homeworld is why I care about fleet readability at all, so this crowd is exactly who I want judging this. My game lets you run the whole fleet or drop into one fighter in the middle of it. This cut leans fleet: dreadnought lines, carrier strikes, a station siege under a golden core sky. Context for the timing: the wishlist counter ticked past 200 this week and I felt like celebrating. Happy to pull the post if the mods want the sub franchise-only. What I most want to know is whether the big engagements stay readable to you.

Hello,
I'm a first time user of DOSBox and I've been running into a problem with audio. Certain sound effects have an audible "pop" at the start of playback and I can't figure what the problem is.
I've tried upping my CPU cycles, changing the CPU type, increasing block size and buffer size (as recommended by Ross Scott from Accursed Farms in a small segment he contributed to in an LGR video), but nothing gives.
I've looked all over and found people with sort of similar problems but either they're using a fork of DOSBox or they're on Linux. For the moment I'm just using the current build of regular old DOSBox on Windows 11.
I've included a sample video demonstrating the problem. You can hear the "pop" just before the title drop, as well as with each "rocket swoosh" that comes after.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to read my post.
I edited the conf file of dosbox that dune is stretched to max 4:3 aspect ratio that only left and right black bars are visible. But now, everytime i move the mouse i have slight stuttering in the audio.
Apparently the option "output=opengl" is responsible but with "output=surface" the picture is much smaller.
How i can improve performance or what output works better here?
Join me as we venture into the darkest dungeon in the game, Kenget Kamulos. We’ll descend into the darkness, explore forgotten corridors, and, above all, face the question of whether we’ll even make it back alive.
I used the installer to install the game, the daggerfall screen appeared to define how much of the game I would like to install on the system, after installation the following instruction appeared: You have just successfully installed The Elder scrolls: DaggerFall. To run the game, type these two lines, pressing the ENTER key after each one.
c: cd dagger c: DAGGER
But after I type the command an error message appears: It looks like you inserted the wrong CD. Please insert your Daggerfall CD into your CD-ROM and try again.
Does anyone know how to disable this? It happens every time I launch a game in DOSBox Pure. I'm not touching the save state key or any other keys. It just wont stop sending this error.
Edit: Turning off save states within the core was the solution
