This is a lot. Buggier than I’d thought it’d be.

Tried to change the background color and it crashes the settings app. Search works for exact spelling only and not context or meta data. Search for image and music and you’ll get nothing.

However there is a lot of potential and it’s what I’d install on a MacBook as an alternative. Maybe next release would be good.

I see you too have a waste of retail space known as Best Buy/Best Buy Mobile in your community.

I will not defend Amazon. But the lack of local retail/price gouging which is shipping in Canada keeps pushing me to Amazon.

I need a role of 3D printable filament or an SD Card. The nearest store is 1-2 hours away and costs twice as much for the convenience, buying from the manufacturer may not possible and if it is shipping cost just as much as the product.

I would love it if there was competition, but there isn’t and Amazon knows it. So for the most part I just buy from brands I know are safe.

That’s not even past the prologue

The oldest I can go reliably is the late 80’s and early 90’s.

DuckTales NES, Sonic the Hedgehog Genesis, Puzzle Bobble.

Once we start getting into the mid 90*s games start to get good.

Chrono Trigger, Doom, Rayman, DK Country

Worth trying, though the new software is free and legacy affinity features are also free.

Basically if you don’t plan on using Canvas AI it’s free. Otherwise it’s moved to another monthly subscription service.

I’m going to drop this here. Both Affinity 2 if you bought it or the Free Affinity 3 works well on Linux.

I like gnomes features but not gnome itself. Cinnamon is good, but has its faults. Plasma is better but is missing online features (calendar for example can’t be used to create events or sync with your cloud accounts). Really would like to see how Comic a desktop turns out when it’s ready.

Shhhh, she might hear you and totally wasn’t my plan.

If my original Steam Controller dongle wasn’t destroyed I’d totally test it too.

These controllers worked on my friends system.

My wife is aiming to get a Steam Machine when they become available. This steam deck is taking the place of it until then for me.

It’s no worse then my older consoles and the alternatives from Ayn or Ambernic, and the facts it’s being consider and worked on is a positive.

Honestly I’m just going to treat it like my PS2. Just need to put my controller near the deck if I want to use it.

If valve is working on it (which it looks like they are) it’s a matter of if than when

Thanks, no clue why it was so hard to find this, hopefully it’s something that’ll be enabled in the future.

According to other comments, they are supposed to be transparent… then he ate butter chicken or some food with dye.

I recently got a few of these. Miyoo A30, Ambernic RG 28XX and 35XXH as well as an R36s.

My advise is do your research before buying since all had issues.

Miyoo A30 has a minuscule battery life (4-6 hours) and had poor thermals (hot to touch). And while it promises PSP and DS compatibility, you’d be lucky to run basic 2d games from these systems.

R36s I got was a clone system and finding a real one is like finding a needle in a haystack. The buttons were cheap feeling and with the older processor (same as real one) it’s no better than the A30.

Anbernic systems performed the same and was the best experience… until my 35XXH tried to set itself on fire. Thankfully it didn’t and while talking to support was like talking to a chat bot. I was able to get a replacement. So far no fire.

I agree, for a new user everything including installing nvidia drivers is in a GUI. And if you run into issue due to the size of both Mint and its base Ubuntu, searching for the problems usually results in a solution.

Usually their out going ones are like half off during sales. Currently the 7 is at half off $630 CAD. Which I think is what I paid for my 6 and is the same price as the Forerunner… onsale.

That said the 7 is the newest fenix id buy now that Garmin is ditching the MIPs display for AMOLED.

Really hate that we are moving away from front lit MIPs displays. Only the Enduro has it and it’s not cheap.

It was very very onsale, and at the time I was bouldering so I wanted to track it.

Currently using it as a swim watch and if I get a new pebble, I will still be using it as my exercise computer.

I have a Pebble Time and when the app stopped working a Garmin Fenix.

I use my smart watch predominantly for Text notifications, call screening and music control.

In the past this was to extend my phone to last more than a day. But now it’s so I don’t need to dig up my phone when I get a notification or call. Great for monitoring things when you are driving or walking.

The biggest benefits of these devices is the insane battery life. Like a Garmin the battery is in weeks not hours. So charging is infrequent unlike the phone.

Pebble though is still the best in this field since their watches use epaper for their displays. So it actually works as a watch. And their devices are application focused, so if it doesn’t come with a timer, you can always download one.

Garmin watches are good, but their move to OLED pushed me away from buying another. And their locked down system makes me concerned with its future as a smart watch. As a sport and activity tracker it’s unrivalled. But I will buy a new pebble before another Garmin.

Zorin pro was the main reason I never stuck with Zorin OS however while they heavily advertise that the price is for the software. I think the real cost comes with “installation support”.

For many first time users, having support help with an install is a necessity and they will pay for it. See Geek Squad as an excellent example.

Plus having a preconfigured Linux experience is good for these users.
