I was also thinking old Thinkpad keyboards, and Dell membraine keyboards. Those were both widespread enough that nearly everyone back then had used them, and some of us still remember them lol
To be fair, I have actually seen fringe cases where people accuse AI of always being wrong.
You're right, it would be easier if we could just ignore it, but sadly it's correct enough that it becomes useful for widespread usage, which is why it's seeing widespread usage. Like always, trust but verify, or just don't trust it. lol
I use Ubuntu because it's the most popular and well-supported.
I'm going to be switching to Mint at some point because it's basically a community-run fork of Ubuntu and I don't trust Canonical anymore, but it's hard to justify installing my OS from scratch considering I've been using Ubuntu since 2017.
I recently ordered a Thinkpad T14 Gen1 with an R7 4750U, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD and you better believe I'm going to be putting Mint on that as soon as I get it.
I'd say start with some of the most popular games, like Mario and Pokemon. Those are the two biggest video game franchises in the world, they're very accessible and even decades later still a ton of fun.
edit: FWIW, Nintendo is a problematic video game company and trying to destroy video game preservation of their games (and trying to prevent community-run video game competitions/tournaments of their games), but they still have made some of the best video games of all time.
I think it depends on the game. Some games, like certain racing games, the motion blur can sometimes enhance the feeling of speed.
