E.g. wikipedia is reflects somehow my view of the internet in the 2000s (Encarta :D)…but for some people today the internet is just social media…or just videos?
BTW, does anybody know of an offline encyclopedia which works under Wine?
I liked those too.
The Internet for me was about finding texts about fandoms or anything interesting, roleplaying forums, chats and some browser games. Downloading MP3`s once in a while, downloading and printing Star Wars pics.
EDIT:
They dont even know what a directory is or what a file path is, because of design that dumbs things down…
I’m still consulting my venerable encyclopaedia britannica dvd until this day. It works great under wine and actually does not work under a current version of windows anymore.

A kiosk with services.
You can download wikipedia: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Database_download
edit: if you really meant you want to see if any old encyclopedias work under wine, I never tried :D
I know, I meant something interactive from that time, complete and consistent. Like Encarta.

Which version is that?
EDIT: Never mind

Ah. I actually found the 2004 version and the script to run it on Linux, and it works except for world atlas
I get all my information about dinosaurs from Dinosaur safari. Not sure about other topics.
