This is how the “Unix workstations” of yore worked. They were expensive

And then life became more difficult... Our clients were running RS/6000
servers and workstations. I can't remember the versions after all these
years but when IBM released the patches for Y2K they couldn't be applied
to the older hardware. Looking at the cost for just a RS/6000 workstation
suddenly made switching to Windows very attractive.
Maybe in a parallel universe if Linux in 2000 was what it is in 2024 it
would have been a different story.
