@pleia2@floss.social I doubt I'll ever get to work on IBM mainframe, midrange or storage systems again professionally but I did manage to SYSGEN and IPL an emulated System/3.

@lopta@mastodon.social Well, if you ever did want to have some fun on a Linux on Z box, my team runs a free service that provides temporary VMs to the community: https://community.ibm.com/zsystems/l1cc/ But it is just Linux at the end of the day, logging in for the first time was a little anticlimactic for me after I ran `lscpu` and `cat /proc/cpuinfo` So I wrote some instructions for playing games: https://github.com/linuxone-community-cloud/arcade (yeah, it runs Doom)
