Works perfectly

Every day I discover a new creative way that humans are messed up.

AliExpress is really good and reliable now. I get plenty of stuff off there. Linus Tech Tips even recommends it as one of the best places to pick up a bargain on a desktop CPU. They give you a refund if items are undelivered. I look for items with plenty of pictures and detailed descriptions and picture reviews, and I've never been disappointed.

The other thing is that lots of deals end up being discussed on HotUKDeals.com and forum users will report back (e.g. cuing a Crucial NVME drive for £30 and posting speed tests and that it's the real thing).

These plans for tariffs are going to affect Americans badly though. eBay is recommended in that case.

Pocketability is the biggest bonus for me. This doesn't replace my Steam Deck, it supplements my gaming by making games available in situations where I can't carry around a giant Deck.

The other issue is that my 4 yr old son has really gotten into gaming (Mario Odyssey) and takes the Deck off me a lot of the time 😄

I thought it would be perfect for the Mrs, but she's refused saying she going to end up staying up way too late because she gets addicted to games 😆

The only thing you've got to be cautious about is localised save files of you haven't set up something like syncthing for backup.

You're right, ergonomics aren't great, but I'm fine with that because it prioritises portability. Better ergonomics can be added with the grip attachment. Although I have giant hands and I'm OK playing extended periods without grips.

Got so many games in active rotation on this thing.

Yes, Switch Emulation. The emulation app is called Sudachi (works better than Yuzu).

It's going to be served by a white faced clown holding a red balloon.

I cannot think of any scenario which makes someone forget what they were in the middle of doing, when microwaving 1kg of ground beef immediately before a flight. WTF

Best I can do is the washing machine. No one had ever called their step brother for help with getting stuck in the microwave.

20 cigarettes is healthier than 500 cigarettes, so I'm going to use that and be healthy.

I did have a day. Thanks.

I just can't get over how wrong and out of place this image is in this context.

You're right. Witch's curse seems more likely.

By going away on holiday and forgetting to throw away perishables beforehand....... Or maybe a witch's curse.

And this is why Linux is still far from mass adoption. Normie's will not be able to troubleshoot this stuff right out of the box. If there's going to be widespread adoption then Linux needs to come pre-installed and set up, and preferably unbreakable (like Steam OS).

You're going to get a hundred different answers about distros. There are a lot of knowledgeable people who forget what the beginner experience is like.

Mint is universally recommended and well loved. It works well and you can't go wrong. It uses Cinammon desktop environment and I wanted KDE so I didn't go for it.

Fredora is also top tier and again you can't go wrong. This comes in many flavours (including Bazzite which is an immutable Fedora distro pre-set towards gaming, or Nobara).

When you're wiping your drive anyway and setting up new and fresh, then this is the best time to install different distros and test drive them for a few hours/days. Ultimately this is not a life changing decision; and your choice can always be changed later.

I personally did all this a year ago and settled on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. It has been great and this distro doesn't get recommended enough. The desktop environment will be your daily use experience. The underlying distro will be your mechanics under the hood. I would suggest you pick something "beginner friendly" unless you really want to take on a steeper learning curve.

I don't care. Apps are easily installed. If it's not a platform that's got a strong userbase then people don't take it up and it'll end up being just a chat between the 2 of us.
