My 486SX notebook has an Amiga wallpaper, does it count?

Would have been better as multi choice. I use lots of different devices as an Amiga.

Amithlon is essentially "emulated on Linux", so I went for that.

No, it's primarily a Mac but I'm writing this Windows 7 to drive home the point that it's a PC.

Nope.
My daily driver is a Linux machine running on AMD x86.
My gaming rig is a Windows 10 machine running on AMD x86.
My VR gaming rig is also a Windows 10 machine running on AMD x86.
My laptop is a Linux machine... you get the picture.

My PCs are PCs, and
As per my signature, my Amigas are Amigas

Ed. Hey, what happened to my signature?

I choice Other, but Pancakes or No, can also work, AmigaONE computers are not like Amiga computers, the technology is wherry different, from two different time periods, the history of how we got to that technology is also different.

I tried a multiple-choice poll years ago, and things went terribly wrong. A bug in the forum software, I suppose.

The "other" option is necessary to cover cases I didn't think of, and the "pancake" option is necessary to prevent people who don't care one way or the other from inflating the other choices. It's still far from accurate, of course. For one thing, the sample size is way too small. But keeping all that in mind... the results:

@thread
At this time the Ns have it 19 to 17. Of the Ys, emulation on Windows leads. Not surprising results, and consistent with similar polls from the past.
