Damm, for that price you can buy a ds, 3ds, Wii u and a switch (V1) and have money to spare.

Oh yeah good idea!

Edit a file, writing a quick shell script or whatever in the terminal. Nano is great. I don’t see any use in learning vim or emacs. If I need something more I’m going use a gui editor anyway.

Don’t get triggered anyone it’s just my preference

Luckily fans did the work already. There are still great translation roms easy to find. (Until Nintendo does it thing again) Nintendo clearly doesn’t want my money.

I still use my PS3, enough great and cheap games and can play my PS1 and 2 games on the big screen with wireless controllers.

Newer games I play on PC anyways.

I already mentioned pretendo in a comment. But for anyone how wants to play super Mario maker on there Wii u after the shutdown. You can switch networks (you of course need to (soft)mod your Wii u).

In super Mario maker uploading, playing uploaded levels, death point, world record and staring them works. There is still a lot missing. But you can still play.

Some games and features are behind a payed beta(which I hate). But all super Mario maker stuff is free.

Seeing wara wara plaza alive on my Wii u is amazing with random Mii’s and post from miiverse.

I already switched my Wii u over to the pretendo network. Uploading and playing levels already work in super Mario maker.

It’s still far of from a drop in replacement, but miiverse, wara wara plaza and som in game things are working.

I think that in the Android kernel (for your device) there are binary blobs for hardware drivers. Which are not in mainline and most of the times not even available anywhere.

I made some posters in krita for work. Worked okay. Just make sure you start with the good ratio in px for printing.

I know some Linux users trash talk Nvidia on Linux like it just a piece of shit. But it’s simply okay. Don’t get me wrong it’s not great. But it works.

But if you have a simple setup it will probably work. My SO PC has a rtx 2060 and one monitor and it works fine.

You can of course always dual boot. I still have windows for VR gaming and just in case. I do recommend a stable os with Nvidia (especially if you just starting out with Linux). Something like pop os. Don’t go with arch just for the meme.

With dual booting you can try Linux and test if it’s okay for you. If not just give the disk space back to windows. If not great keep using Linux.

If in the future it ever gets good support for gui’s and is stable. For sure gone try Qlab.

It’s simple the best show control software I tried yet. But for now I will be using Linux show player or borrow a MacBook.

In Dutch you have the saying “geduld is een schone zaak” (having patience is a great good). Meaning how waits in peace and calm will be rewarded. But also hate that saying too.

But still hope that your patience will be rewarded with clean and prefect prints!

Just use KDE connect (it’s also available on windows). Just open your file browser and select the last screenshot on your phone. (It mount your phone as removable media)

It’s all local and you don’t have to send any extra info to Microsoft as added bonus.

All this new and fancy stuff is already solved on Linux for a long time and on windows long before Microsoft “invented” it. By great free and open source projects.

The 2s has more ram and a better soc.

As well out of the box support for Android 11. The 2+ runs android 9 with a possibility to manually upgrade to android 11.

That being said I’m still very happy with my 2+

I upgraded my girlfriends PC grom a i7-4770 too a Ryzen 2600 and just moved the drive without any problems.

I don’t needed to update or change anything. Only needed to select the drive in the bios.

AMD is better on Linux most of the time. Running a AMD card day one is not hassle free.

That being said if you pick a up to date distro all 7000 and 6000 series should work fine now. They are already in the kernel and mesa for a while. You may want to update you kernel and mesa sometimes to get better performance and stability.

But in my experience nvidia is fine on Linux. (I only used older cards gtx 970 and a rtx 2060) especially when you have just one monitor or all monitors on the same refresh rate. It’s not on par with windows but will work with the Nvidia drivers.

So I would say if you a simple setup Nvidia is fine and AMD is better. It all depends on the best deal you can get. If ray tracing is not that important AMD is new the best value. If you more on a budget second AMD Rx 5700 XT are pretty cheap here and there are some good deals on Nvidia 30 series cards.

As far I have read intel cards can be a pain on Linux. So I would not recommend it for now.

My dad is running xubuntu for about 6 years now. I didn’t get any questions in the last 2 years. Besides for installing a new printer.

Before that it was mostly which program he needed for something. Never a black screen anymore, malware or anything like that.

Maybe a watch supported by asteroid os is something.

Some models have support for heart monitor. Don’t know if there is a fitness app or something like that.
