This makes me really value the effort I put into learning Linux.

Lucky for me I don’t need to use Windoze for work either.

Yes

Um… the Gestapo is already coming for you and I still don’t see your guns helping…

Valid shower thought.

Cable management is like a puzzle.

My advice is to image search “PC cable management” for inspiration then detach all cables and start puzzling.

The writer for dying light was let go for good reason and he was the main talent. This is why dying light two was so plain story wise because the replacement writer wasn’t up to the task.

No reason to hype that the beast writer is up to the task also. Only time will tell.

Money for nothing and the chicks for free…

For a minute I thought Sequoia act was some obscure act of government that the administration would use to ‘nullify’ Mamdani’s win.

You could acquire a pretty cheap PC for Linux it runs on a potato. Try an electrical scrap heap nearby that you can fossick from or a friend with an old, unused system in storage (even a cheap $20 retro PC from your local marketplace?) to acquire an old retro system. You might not even need a new screen depending what connections your existing screens/TV has and if you could use a cheap adapter and cable from the thrift store.

Linux runs on basically any retro PC and laptop excluding some annoying wifi chips that need planning before the install if you don’t have ethernet. Some really old tech may also require specific distributions that still offer support too.

Machines with a 32bit CPU you will want to confirm beforehand if your chosen distribution still offers a supported 32bit install image and retro PC’s with obscure expansion cards that perhaps were never supported. This is likely moving into vintage collectors territory though and you would have to be pretty lucky now to find a machine like that super cheap and working.
