It's long been possible to run DOS apps on Linux.  I have a game called
"Railroad Tychoon", from back in the '80s.  While it runs fine, because
it was intended for old DOS boxes, where VGA was the latest & greatest,
it only uses a small portion of my display.  I guess, for some reason,
the developers didn't foresee 1080p resolution on computer monitors.  ;-)
