The Ramen Dutchman

I concur, my 7-year old laptop can run most light DEs flawlessly, such as Cinnamon, XFCE and i3, no matter the Linux distro or kernel. It struggles with even a fresh Debian GNOME install.

I would also like to know what the hell they are talking about.

Why would you say something so brave yet controversial?

Try installing Firefox through apt.

More like: Upside to Debian, you never have to worry about the latest malware and bugs! Downside to Debian, you have to use yesterday’s everything…

I am actually enjoying most of it, yeah.

My Dell monitor’s brightness can adjusted on Bazzite Linux out of the box but I’ve never been able to get this working on Linux Mint, Arch, Debian nor NixOS :/

That’s okay, just be very careful updating rather manually.

Good choices!

It was Quake 3: Arena for us in college, and no I’m not that old we played something quite retro back then already

Same, this or the Breeze Snow cursor, depending on my overall theme at the moment.

Oh, they that bad?

You can, for a PS1 you’d need an HDMI to RCA converter like this one (Amazon), usually local electronics shops also sell them and aren’t evil (-:

Not if they’re in a poor state like from a dumpster (-:

What is it called nowadays?

Google? Bro, just Duck it!

Holy moly you kids are young!

… what do you mean there are 29 year old GenZ’s‽

Discrimination

If buying an old PlayStation is doable for you I’d absolutely recommend it! It’s the best way to really get a feel of the games and the era, rather than the games feeling simply like a retro-style game on your new computer.

Do keep in mind you need VGA or AV plugs to connect it to the TV, not HDMI or DP

I see it simply runs Android but with a controller attached (like a lot of emulation handhelds) I’m liking the layout of d-pad and Nintendo-face buttons! How does the d-pad feel?

My GTX 970 has always worked on Linux Mint, even when it was only a year old
