with something like FreeDOS+OpenGEM.

Sigh. Watching windows users try to make sense of the computing world is always cringe.

    I'm not a Windows user. Unix-likes are also too complex for most tasks.

    And your tone evokes suspicion that you've switched to Linux not so long ago and think that brings authority. Nah. It's just an OS. Its users are as qualified as Windows users. When you'll be able to explain to me how an IP packet passes through the networking stack, or something like that, then maybe. At least how virtual memory works, or swapping, or syscalls, or process scheduling.

    OK, admittedly I don't remember shit of any of that.

    Just - wanting something more minimal doesn't mean I'm ignorant of Unices.
