I didn’t even notice you typed hell, I read it as how. lol

No but I think it’s me.

Except there are people who buy something AND want to have offline backup copies of it.

I used to, but not anymore, except for my laptop I plan on taking with me travelling. My work laptop and personal laptop are both encrypted.

I figure my home is safe enough, and I only really need encryption if I’m going to be travelling.

One of my friends locked himself out of his PC and all his data because he forgot his master password, and I don’t want to do that myself lol

True but the title said emulation so I had to correct OP anyway lol

They are similar, but generally emulators have a higher run-time cost - this is because they are “emulating” an entire system, not just translating system calls. By cost, I mean performance of course. Emulators typically simulate/mimic other hardware, whereas translation layers just convert the system calls to be run natively on your existing hardware (which means your CPU architecture must match, etc).

Wine is far faster than regular emulation would traditionally be.

I agree, but, to be fair, WINE is not an emulator, it’s a translation layer. It may seem like it doesn’t matter but it’s an important distinction.

Setting up Sonarr is pretty easy, and using it is even easier. I definitely recommend it. Works great for me with Plex/Jellyfin.

Sonaar with Plex/Jellyfin is about as convenient as you can get. The only thing missing from torrents, usenet, and now even Crunchyroll itself is comments.

“Put that Furby away! We have to go play Neopets.”

Minecwaft!!!

I’ve been daily driving Linux since 2017, I started with Ubuntu and it’s been great. I recently got a Lenovo T14 Gen 1 and put Linux Mint 22 on it, and I’ve been playing some games on it and it’s been pretty nice for such a portable laptop.

It took me until my early 30s before I realized this. It’s time to begin. Let’s do this!

(Next year I am going to go travelling to Paris and likely Amsterdam too)

I’m sorry but the fact that people are so outraged with Biden for doing this is exactly why Kamala lost.

Trump and the Democrats are held to completely different standards. Trump is willing to fight dirty to win at all costs, and that’s why he won. It sucks to hear but it’s true.

Because he’s a cute money-cat. He is showing how much money he has.

Well, I was planning on looking into RealDebrid over my week off in winter, but I guess that’s done now, damn.

I use Xfce, as do most of my Linux friends, it’s lightweight and simple yet also very customizable.

I have a few Norweigan friends and they say the same.

I use Ubuntu because it’s the most popular and well-supported.

I’m going to be switching to Mint at some point because it’s basically a community-run fork of Ubuntu and I don’t trust Canonical anymore, but it’s hard to justify installing my OS from scratch considering I’ve been using Ubuntu since 2017.

I recently ordered a Thinkpad T14 Gen1 with an R7 4750U, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD and you better believe I’m going to be putting Mint on that as soon as I get it.

I’d say start with some of the most popular games, like Mario and Pokemon. Those are the two biggest video game franchises in the world, they’re very accessible and even decades later still a ton of fun.

edit: FWIW, Nintendo is a problematic video game company and trying to destroy video game preservation of their games (and trying to prevent community-run video game competitions/tournaments of their games), but they still have made some of the best video games of all time.
