Somebody should release a qemu fork specifically tuned for running really old FPGA, PCB, and VLSI tools.
You could call it "soybean".
As in EDA MAME.
@azonenberg This is so bad it's amazingly good.

@azonenberg Except EDA tools already live in the past. Cadence os requirements https://www.cadence.com/en_US/home/support/computing-platform-support/support-road-map-2023x-2026x.html only just EOL'ed RHEL 7, and plan to support 8 (launched 2019) through 2026. Synopsys os requirements https://www.synopsys.com/support/licensing-installation-computeplatforms/compute-platforms/compute-platforms-roadmap.html still largely support RHEL 7, launched 2014, over 10 years ago! (We're moving to Rocky Linux)
