Install Linux to make a retro gaming machine?

I really like the uncle Ben’s tek theoretically.

Inject your spores or liquid culture into bags of microwavable brown rice (maybe 1cc per bag), snip the corner off and seal with micropore tape.

It’s already at an appropriate moisture content and is sterile.

Then spawn to bulk as normal.

Theoretically speaking, this is how I’d do it, and I’d have a lot of success with it. Although I don’t use the uncle Ben’s rice, i find it’s a bit too wet. Use a cheaper store brand, they’re a little drier and work perfectly.

What was the migration like? I’ve been looking to get off Plex for a while now but like you say, haven’t had the time nor the energy.

Is it as simple as just installing it and pointing it at my NAS?

A&W is my personal favourite of hers, the production on that track is phenomenal.

Your criteria is a little confusing as another poster had said, but when I think romantic music, I think Portishead.

If you like Amy Winehouse as per your other comment, you might like Lana Del Rey?

Here in Australia, the fact that basically everyone has solar panels, combined with our aging infrastructure that can’t handle the exports, means feed-in-tariffs have dropped to basically nothing.

So it really is a use it during the day kind of mentality here.

Outside of daylight hours, we have the most expensive power in the world

One of the most frequently suggested beginner distros is Linux mint. It’s great, it’s stable, it’s what I use and while it’s not exactly cutting edge, or necessary the prettiest distro, it’s great for beginners and will feel pretty familiar coming from windows.

Pop_os! And bazzite are more “gaming focused” if that’s more your style, but I’ve never had an issue gaming with Linux mint.

Ultimately, it doesn’t really matter terribly much. Pick one, install it to a new drive and try it out. If you don’t like it, pick another one.

I would argue windows 11 is pretty much unusable regardless

What router do you have? I have the TP-Link Omada ER7212 and am not seeing this on the latest firmware

If you’re using your phone, definitely check out YouTube revanced. Or if on a tv check out Smart tube next. No ads, sponsor block baked in. It’s all the perks of premium (plus more) without the cons of supporting an evil company

Omg I’m not alone! This is hands down The most painful song I have ever had the misfortune of hearing

Happy by Pharell Williams.

Idk it just does something to me. I absolutely can’t stand it. It’s like nails on a chalkboard. No song comes even close to how much I hate that song

Google doing everything they can to anger everyone.

Any company that pushes this shit doesn’t deserve your money. Don’t buy their TVs.

And this is why I avoid Samsung products entirely. Vote with your wallet.

Essentially banning any apps that would hurt googles profits.

I thought that was pretty obvious.

We’re just not gonna see eye to eye on this.

I want privacy and freedom. You want Google to dictate what apps you can use even though it doesn’t effect you.

You don’t give a shit about people who rely on apps that aren’t from the play store. You cant seem to understand why it’s bad because it won’t effect you. It’s selfish

You need an ID for those activities because it is required by law. Apples and oranges. Your argument is a logical fallacy of false equivalency.

A government dictating what you can and cannot do by law is a completely different thing than some random company telling you what you can and can’t do with a device you own.

And again, if you’re uncomfortable with that - then you still have the option of only downloading apps via the play store where identities are already verified.

So again, it’s the gay marriage argument - do you support the freedom of others to do something you may not want to do? Or would you rather restrict others freedom when it doesn’t effect you? If it’s the latter, then I think you’re an objectively bad person.

Can’t cast to the TV when you use smarttube like any reasonable person would.

Edit: turns out you can actually!

That’s interesting, where did you grow up? I grew up believing everybody had the right to privacy. And to not provide your identity to strangers on the internet

It’s like gay marriage. If you don’t want to do it, you don’t have to. But don’t support restricting the freedom of others because it won’t effect you
