Gifted my kids, both of them already young adults, one of those retro gaming sticks. An absolute bang/for/buck wonder, full of retro emulators and ROMs. Christmas Day, at grandmas was a retro fest, with even grandma playing.

Do you always tell people that you use it? If not that may be what you are doing wrong

I live in Linux ( mint) and have had two bork events recently (and many over the years, since the 90’s). Thankfully nothing that timeshift couldn’t solve, but they do happen. That’s why people are getting hard-ons about immutable distros.
