Yeah, I don't recall seeing that and installed it about four times.

I started this way today but kept coming up with an error with rsync during install. I tried in Virtual Box and had the same error. I gave up and just installed Fedora in the end.
Weird. I've been trying to find a distro I'm happy with and was setting Fedora KDE up today. Ran though my bookmarks and found no videos played on Twitch. Had to install codecs to get it to work. I hadn't seen this in previous distros. Is this specific to Fedora? Other than this hiccup I've enjoyed it so far.
I liked how straight forward Linux Mint is but prefer KDE Plasma. Plus Mint seems quite far behind in versions.
I'm happy to pay for games. In fact the last time I pirated a game was downloading games from groups like myth and class. Subscription is fucking everywhere these days and I sure as hell won't be going that method for my games. I'll be sailing the high seas for sure.
Honestly, the large majority of people will just shove a case on their phone, so any appealing aesthetic is just covered up anyway.
I can't say I'm a big fan of the visor look of the Pixels (I say this as a long time Nexus and Pixel user) but the iPhone and Samsung designs are your bog standard smartphone design. At least the Pixel is doing something different.
I got the PS4 Pro having not bothered upgrading from a PS3. At this point there was so many good games to play. I was so impressed I got the PS5 a year after launch. I'm really disappointed as the games have lackluster compared to my time on the PS4.
Honestly the only console that I see is worth having is the Switch. Other than that I play on the PC and now Steam Deck.
Still got my Mega Drive too. It's sat in the loft though.
My Google Pixel Bud fell into a bush the other day. Despite knowing its basic vicinity I still couldn't find it. I used the find feature which makes it ring loud but still had issues as cars on the road were too noisy. I had to wait until after 8PM to try again. Thankfully I managed to but it really wasn't easy!
The trouble is Samsung is only for it's own ecosystem. The Google version should render the Samsung one obsolete.
Moved to Proton mail from GMail. At the same time I purchased a new domain and got SimpleLogin to create new aliases for all my sites and services. The only site that knows my real address is Proton itself and SimpleLogin.
I also ditched Chrome for Firefox. I honestly prefer Chrome but hate how controlling Google is with Chrome. I also switched to Duckduckgo. I've never actually felt less tracked in a long time as a result. Actually eye opening. I used Incognito so often for Google searches to not be tracked. Now I can search freely without then seeing ads or content related to that search elsewhere.
That's typical journalism on ITV and Channel 5. BBC has its moments but it's not as bad. I simply can't watch news on these channels for this reason.
