N64 does use optical sensors, the n64 stick is actually super precise and doesn’t suffer from drift. The n64 is a goofy controller but it is simply a great and accurate input device, and a lot of the games were really designed with that stick and notches in mind.

But it is made of all plastic and features plastic on plastic moving parts, without lubrication, so it suffers from wear of the plastic. Worn n64 sticks will actually be filled with plastic dust from the stick and gears literally sanding themselves down. The only problem with the controller is the premature wear of the stick.

That sounds like a Subaru problem, on my Chevy the carplay and Android Auto interface are the same exact size and take up the whole info screen.

My old Subaru wasn’t like that either.

once it’s all up and running you’re going to need to be comfortable in the terminal to sort things out.

The tagline of the distro is “A terminal-centric distro with a vibrant and friendly community at its core” So I’m not sure that is something to complain about, and is by design of their team.

To me it isn’t designed as a beginner distro just a preconfigured arch with a nice gui installer and defaults that work for nearly everyone.

Unless your buying a superspeed pci-e gen 4 drive you really don’t even need a heatsink for most drives.

I would do the screen first, it will improve the gameplay experience a ton.

It can absolutely be done, I’ve been running uefi modified Chromebooks for a while, my 12th gen intel Chromebook even runs windows now.
