I don't "compute" anything special, just regular Linux programs. The A20 is much more powerful than my first PC (a 486DX/33) so I can even run old games like Doom natively much better than I could on the 486. But I have to use a port (Chocolate Doom or PrBoom) because DOSBox is pretty slow on ARM. In fact it's not worth playing most later DOS games for that reason, but older ones from the 80's generally run fine. And I can run most 8-bit emulators well, except for C64 because VICE emulator wants GPU and/or SDL2 for some reason. But that's not essential to me, as most 8-bit games got ported to multiple systems, and I can usually just use an Atari 400/800, MSX, Amstrad, Speccy, or MSX. In fact, even Atari ST and Amiga games work well on here, but I have to use e-uae instead of more recent Amiga emulators (since have same issue as VICE).
My favorite thing though is text games, not just text adventures but anything made with text or similar (Petscii, IBM-PC ANSI, TRS-80 glyphs, etc.)
