Hello everyone! I'm someone who has only recently begun diving deeper into computer software and hardware related topics (beyond surface level history), so forgive me if i'm about to ask a very basic question.
Essentially, I'm looking to install FreeDOS as the OS on a computer, a 2011 DELL Optiplex 790 SFF to be precise. Its specs include a 250gb HDD, an Intel i5-2400 processor, and 4gb of RAM. (More detail here <https://i.dell.com/sites/doccontent/shared-content/data-sheets/en/Documents/optiplex-790-customer-brochure.pdf>). Does anything here immediately jump out as incompatible or troublesome when it comes to running FreeDOS? From my experience with DOSBox and DOSBox-x things like the amount of CPU cycles emulated can often render some older software completely unusable, does FreeDOS have a way around this when installed as the OS of a computer? Would any aspect of this computer inherently threaten compatibility? Once again, sorry if these questions are rather basic, but thank you for reading this far. I intend to fully go down the rabbit hole of programming and computer science in relation to DOS and similar systems once I get a dedicated PC up and running, and I wanna make sure i'll be able to utilize the OS to it's fullest.
