Have you compared NES games on a CRT with the same games on a modern screen?
CRTs just look miles better.

Something like mint or fedora is just as easy to install and has less issues than ubuntu (snaps)
Use something other than gnome and, while you’re at it, you might as well use something other than ubuntu.
KDE is very hard to break, you can go wild with customization there.
Unfortunately you need something with long firmware and software support. Qualcomm is your enemy, they stop updating the firmware of their chips after about two years and that’s why android phones often stop getting updates less than 2 years after you buy them.
That’s mostly politics as well.
The boost app has a karma counter, maybe people want to see the funny number go up.
Installing arch is a great way to learn. Also don’t be scared of daily driving it, it’s not like it breaks twice a week. More like once a year, which is better than ubuntu in my experience.
Over here in germany, tipping is synonymous with cash and using the tip feature of apps is frowned upon because it adds an unnecessary middleman.
Not sure how transferrable that is to other countries, us germans really like cash.
Gorilla Glass Victus is just a marketing term. It’s still glass, and glass breaks (and gets scratched). Always use a screen protector. If your phone has curved edges on the front, a case is also mandatory because curved screens are very easy to break.
90hz screen with 180hz polling is what my phone uses as well, it’s nice that the deck has now caught up to that.
Also remember to leave your original deck on when downloading games on the new one so it can transfer them locally, which should be faster. There’s a setting for that, but I think it’s on by default.
But you still need to remember the port of the service you’re trying to reach, which isn’t great.
I know a lot of people my age (early 20s) who use tiktok and have no idea what tracking or privacy mean.
Kids might be smart, but if this is all they’ve known and it works well enough they don’t pay attention and don’t use their critical thinking.
But the deck can also be used for gaming with zero tinkering, so kids will do that.
KDEs wobbly windows will convert almost any child to linux.
Which distro and GPU? I’ve had a terrible experience with my 1070 Ti across Windows, kubuntu and arch and I didn’t even try Wayland.
Nvidia driver updates break things all the time. Just rollback and wait a few weeks before you try updating again.
Try Smarttube, it’s a joy to use.
It’s just like with programming: The people who are scared of AI taking their jobs are usually bad at them.
AI is incredibly good at regurgitating information and translation, but not at understanding. Programming can be viewed as translation, so they are good at it. LLMs on their own won’t become much better in terms of understanding, we’re at a point where they are already trained on all the good data from the internet. Now we’re starting to let AIs collect data directly from the world (chatGPT being public is just a play to collect more data), but that’s much slower.
I use SmartTube on my android TV and it’s great. If you can find an android TV box that doesn’t come with malware preinstalled or get android running on the pi, I highly recommend it.
CRTs don’t have pixels so the resolution of the signal isn’t that important. It’s about the inherent softness you get from the technology. It’s better than any anti-aliasing we have today.
