There's a few youtubers out there like that now

NCommander is an incredibly smart programmer that dove headfirst into the Windows XP for Itanium source code just to get Space Cadet Pinball's 64-bit port fixed

8-Bit Guy has stepped away from putting paperclips into rare machines to build his own homebrew 80's style computer, as well as writing several games for Commodore 64, early DOS and others

Action Retro has slowly branched out into putting strange Linux distros and even BeOS on his PowerPC Mac collection

Cursed Silicon put himself on the map by building the "world's fastest Win98 PC" to prove another youtuber incorrect and has been doing a lot of Linux archeology with Gentoo

Phintage Collector recently showed off Windows NT's "OS/2 personality" to run OS/2 apps on NT (as opposed to windows apps on OS/2)

The Serial Port resurrected one of the venerable Cobalt Networks "RaQ" appliances and is planning to set up a 90's style web host for his patrons
