Thank you OP. Don’t need anything but appreciate having giveaways

I’d also recommend hot keying it to Carl shift wax for that authentic feeling

Depends on the tripod. Being able to have something more sturdy hold it is fantastic, but since it’s juts a 1/4” adapter you can adapt it to anything.

I can’t tell if I am still seeing red because I played the virtual boy too long… or if my eyes are just bleeding. I’ll check after this headache goes away

The Sims 2 recommendation is no joke. Honestly picked it up hoping it would be like he pc game. Kept it since it’s a wacky story game with aliens, cults, robots and vampires.

PixelJunk Monsters - tower defence game with a fantastic soundtrack

Patchwork hero’s - fun puzzle game where you take down giant airships

Everyday Shooter - twin stick shooter with a unique soundtrack

Persona 3 Portable - even atlus remastered this game as is.

I would also throw in GTA Vice City stories - love the story and it holds up better than liberty city stories

Can confirm, got PS4 for $200 (used) and most games for $10-$20 each new.

PixelJunk Monsters 2. It was like $3 and a fantastic price for that. Not as good as the first game, but an amazing tower defence game nonetheless

Yup, my tower still has my Windows 10 drive in it. If I need it it's there, but for the most part I don't need it.

Step 1) Find a Distro which you are comfortable with using. Over the years I've tried Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian, and Arch, and I've settled on Linux Mint since it's familiar to me, but also easy to use and lots of forums with trouble shooting since it's based on Ubuntu/Debian. Arch is my close second if you want the bleeding edge and are OK with stability.

Step 2) Find the right UI. Most distro's default desktop environments are good, but I found Cinnamon and KDE Plasma to be perfect for me. If you are looking for a more Mac like experience Gnome is a good starting point too. Though you can customize any distro to look like any OS with enough time and effort.

Step 3) Software.

Games is a solved problem these days. Steam works natively and Proton is good enough for lie 99% of your games. You just need to enable it and you will be good to go. If you are playing non steam games, Heroic is a simple application which works, though if you are installing anything more complicated, i.e. a CD game Lutris is your friend. Not sure about gamepass as the Microsoft store is Windows exclusive.

Office Software: LibreOffice is installed by default on all OS's and is based off of OpenOffice, but it's actually still in development.

Photoshop: Yeah this is going to be your make or break it situation. Photoshop has no real substitute in linux. GIMP isn't bad, but is only good for image manipulation not creation. Kirta is more of an art studio rather than Photoshop. What I personally do is a lot of work. Affinity Photo is a close second place for Photoshop but it's Mac/Windows only. Good News, with Proton you can run it. Bad News it's a pain in the rear to do so. I strongly suggest Bottles and the ElementalWarrior build of Wine to get it working there are some guides on how to do it. But again it's a pain in the rear.

In some regards how I get around Windows Limitation is just have a virtual machine with windows on it to run when I need it. Doesn't need much power and I use it when I need it. I..e backing up my iPhone or sending music files to it.

Ubuntu, I was drawn in with the 3D cube and the ability to play games. The only game I had compatible then was TF2. So I left.

Back to it full time now, almost all games work, and on Mint
