Unfortunately some old tech does just start becoming obsolete at some point. sure you can force old software on to it but unless its designed to just interact on its own or with some other equipment thats stuck in time, it usually ends up not being worth the trouble or time, especially when you can get pretty powerful (comparison wise) equipment for cheap. chrome books for example are dirt ass cheap and some times a better solution than trying to get a super old system running again.

only potential issue I see trying to stress that 430watt psu with whatever that gpu is.

while I agree... i dont see what this has to do with programming

feel'n a bit called out rn

I was thinking of picking up FF 7 remake cuz.. idk, big sword look cool? also soul caliber 6 cuz its $8

uh, yeah probably just those I think. still dont know if I will commit to it cuz i already have such a back log.

lemmytards.. i mean lemmitors. lemmyteirs? Lemmiknights?

i kinda like Lemmiknights.

neat. they're not my cup of tea, I prefer more "vanilla" eroge or yuri/Shoujo-ai VN's .. but I wish you best of luck

Imma be real.. Arch has been the most consistent system I've used to date.

I've been using linux off and on since like 2008. I jumped around from ubuntu, fedora, opensus, popOS, centOS, etc.. I've had manjaro and now arch as my daily driver for probably 4 or more years now and Arch updates have only ever broke one thing, one time, and it was more of a audio pipewire issue than it was really archs fault.

arch updates do not deserve this slander, its been very reliable for me, more than probably any system i've ever used.

Gnu Linux does have an actual lengthy license agreement.

It's that license agreement that keeps it free and open and also ensures that people can't just steal it, claim it as their own, and then open legal disputes against anyone who who tries to use it them selves (among other legal things in sure).

Thing is, I use Linux cuz it allows to have simplicity and convenience where those things are of value to me.

Not having an online always connected local user account is simplicity to me.

Having file permissions changeable with a simple command rather than having to fuck about a ui and registry is simplicity to me.

Having an os that's under my control is convenient for me.

Having a user interface that suits my wants/needs and has ample options for customization is convenient for me.

I use Yuzu.

its pretty good, depends on the game of course.

I recently loaded Fire Emblem Engage, super mario oddosy, donkey kong tropical freeze, and both zelda BOTW and TOTK. I was running them on my steam deck so performance was so-so, some games better than others, all of them definitely playable though (except super mario sunshine, but that was one I tried probably almost a year ago, yuzu is better now)

emulation still proves to be the best way to play.

other linux phones are not really viable. I dont like supporting apple and even if I didnt care about that, their iOS is far too restrictive.
