I suspect there are real issues with Win11 and 12 and always will be with them. Emulation is likely the way to go on that. Emulate the older systems so
things work right even if the hardware is truly x64 it's being emulated on. I've generally been OK working like that.
The newer Windows has major issues and may always have. Linux might handle things better. I've dropped Windows due to it's problems with Adware and snooping. Linux generally works better these days. Even on x64 systems.
So far no issues I can't get around that way. I still have Mystic Pi BBS on an older PI3 system running in the same place it the basement it started out back in 2016 or so. It's now behind the modem/router firewall and the Linux one.
It also is using non-standard ports for the most part. Only using it behind the two firewalls seems to be able to keep it from harm. I also have real Win7
hardware and software which will always run even if only under emulation.
Linux seems to be OK with Mystic. A47 did seems to have issues on the PI and still does, haven't found A48+ to work with PI3. All newer hardware does though. So to run newer than A47 I use x64 Linux and so far no issues with that. Does limit things with older Pi hardware, but not with newer hardware.
