That's an awesome trade as a kid tbf, would've done that too x3
Im not sure if this is an option everywhere, but in my country you can add your phone provider to google play as mentioned
So if you had nicer parents that topped your plan off for one of the more expensive plans what you could do was get a cheaper one, and spend the leftover on in-game purchases or whatever through google play :3.. phone plans were also how all the illegal irl item trades in mmos were done ^
I've been quite enjoying it :3.. I tried out a few distros when I first started linux, but with tiling and the pop launcher pop!_os fit my workflow the best out of the box, plus I've only had like 1 major issue with it, so.. it's been pretty stable too ^ (more stable than windows for me haha)
Definitely excited for their upcoming release too, since it'll be coming with COSMIC :3
I have a ps4 controller and just plugging my headphones into the controller seems to route audio to it fine on pop!_os.. I'd assume mint would be similar since they're both based on ubuntu, but I've not tried
Counter point: I like it
(and I also find it useful, but I don't have the energy to argue about this)
