Using my cells camera. Probably could've put more effort into the shot, but honestly don't want any more eBay and etsy sellers to sell my stuff using my images.
Bad images are my defense against it

For the first time in over 10 years. LBP Vita. Wanted to record it and just got sucked back in.
Also playing LBP PSP but not getting as sucked in
I was more going for ease of use. If you are playing the latest and greatest then I agree you’d probably want Arch based or at the minimum Fedora based distributions. However if you are playing some more stable games, or I do titles and Ubuntu is fine. The updates will come.
My SO enjoys Zorin. Based on Ubuntu (like pop os) but had built in themes that makes the desktop environment easily customizable.
They found it easy to use and set up.
Anything locally sourceable. For me it's a local company called Eureka Technologies that sells filament for a good price, but also in between batch filaments called Random for $8 that's perfect for prototyping.
Other than that there is a local Canada Computer that sells ANet, Sunlu, and flash forge filament that works well enough.
I made a video going over my own experience. But I feel the biggest tip is to understand the difference between the OS and the Desktop Environment, since in Linux these are separate.
In Windows I found myself identifying the OS based on how the start menu looks and how the file explorer is.
But in Linux these are separate and are called Desktop Environmenta (DE). Your desktop can look like Windows with DE's like KDE Plasma, Cinnamon, or Mate. It can be Mac like with KDE Plasma, or Gnome. Or it can be unique like Gnome.
If you noticed I repeated a few names, that's because they can be customized, and some distributions make them look and feel the way they want them too.
Meanwhile the distro is more focused on what applications are pre-installed and what software will run and are available. I.e. Debain is more stable while arch is more up-to-date.
There are many guides going over this, but distro hopping is the best for narrowing this down. I found finding applications that need to work and seeing if the distro can do it, can weed out any distro that won't work for you. If you don't like the feel of a distro but like the functionally, then look for a similar distro but with a new GUI.
For example Ubuntu ships with a mostly unmodified Gnome. I personally am not a fan of Gnome and prefer a more Windows-like feel. So I look around and find Zorin, Kubuntu, and Mint.
Word of the wise though, while you can install more than one de on install, you are better off either making a new profile or not swapping your de. Something something shared resources, something something breaking your install.
Yup. We use to have Netflix and another service depending on what was coming out I.e. Disney plus when Mandi was releasing.
Now we just do the other service,
Please ignore the iPad usb c dock with the hdmi splitter connected to it.
Many reasons. Many of which is down to how Google as a company is reaching between the proverbial couch cushions to get at the loose change to make a profit. Default opt-in tracking, breaking ad-blockers, and probably more which I forgot about since I abandoned Chrome years ago.
I've tried Linux on my Surface Go. It was awful but not in the way you'd think it would be.
Pros: Honestly Linux made the anemic processor on it feel snappy again. I couldn't play the newest games, linux is not a miracle worker. But compared to the bloated experience its better than Windows 10.
Cons: The smallest features didn't work. SD reader never worked. Needed the Surface firmware to get the webcam to work and even then it was worse than it was on Windows. No good on screen keyboard software, and from my testing no DE had a good tablet mode.
Plus the giant red "unsecured" bar on boot was an eye sore.
I know Linux is has more compatibility on different Surface models so maybe it was just my Go. Or perhaps it was Manjaro. Either way if you don't have a machine yet maybe look at other laptop/tablets
Hey my old monitor setup isn't here.
Main display is normal with a laptop underneath, a vertical display to the left with a laptop display on the bottom under the first monitor
I do not consider a Mac for a gaming machine since it’s library is extremely limited compared to a pc.
With that said, a steam dec+Mac would be a good combo.
This has been going on forever in the GT series. Like the limited time cars in GT5.
That said a lot of these mechanics were designed for a time when other game modes existed that could compensate for them. Like in GT5 where you can “train” an AI to race as their race chief.
I named mine The Stig. And just let him race until it was so good that I could leave it alone at a 12 hour race event and went to sleep. When I woke up I had enough cash and bought a Lamborghini and a Ferrari.
