Chrono Trigger is still being sold actually, so probably not the best example. That said, I still have my original PS1 Chrono Trigger disc that I haven’t played on original hardware (or even my still-hooked-up PS3) for a while because I legally dumped it and play it with a much higher emulated disc read speed. As much as Nintendo has made explicit statements to the contrary, it is legal in most countries to back up your own games and do with them what you will.

Respectfully, this is unhelpful. This is talking about Unplugged, a completely different company, in reply to Phi.
I would argue that NixOS absolutely is the OS you get if your time is worthless, but not every distro is the same. I’d argue that if you need something that doesn’t have so many issues a stabler or easier to use distro (Debian, Ubuntu, Pop!_OS, Linux Mint, and even Fedora or openSUSE) is going to be a better option than trying to bend specifically NixOS to do what you want.
I personally use a mix of Pop, Debian, and Fedora, not because they’re particularly powerful, but because they tend to be more straightforward for what I want to do than NixOS, Gentoo, or Arch. I don’t mind tinkering, but for my main machines I don’t want to tinker much.
Edit: I should clarify that there are plenty of reasonable uses of Windows and I don’t fault anyone for using it especially if their familiarity is keeping them from understanding Linux as well as they want to. But I also would make the case that there are a lot of distros out there.
I like this one, it’s pretty cute and has a neat gameplay concept involving “hacking” other robots to get to places you can’t get to with your regular ball form. It’s rather short; I have 45 minutes clocked in it on Steam and have gone through the whole game and gotten all its collectibles.
If you’re using Linux, use Proton 9.0 or Experimental; earlier versions will play the game without any audio.
What type of connection do you use for your monitor? My first thought is just that you might be using something that can’t do better than 60 Hz.
You and I would have been enemies in the 16-bit era, but I adore the Sega Genesis. (However, I’m also a sleepy bisexual, so I’m gonna say we’re probably nowhere close to enemies.)
It was an arcade monster and got a ton of amazing games from the arcades and purpose-built for the machine — many the SNES also got, but some exclusives that really took advantage of what the Genesis could do well. I’d argue that the gritty FM sound chip was better for certain types of game music as well, though that’s not to say that the SNES wasn’t largely superior on that front.
At the end of the day… yeah 16 bit stuff looks amazing
Is it a Core i7 or a Core 2 series processor? 2007 would suggest the latter, and I would absolutely argue for either that you really should prefer something with Xfce or a similar lightweight desktop (maybe Cinnamon or MATE).
I’d probably recommend Linux Mint as a lightweight user-friendly distro, and I’d suggest any of the three available variants based on what you like the most aesthetically.
Additionally, if you haven’t opened them up for a while, pick up an inexpensive SSD for both of them if they don’t have them already. Modern OSes really expect an SSD over a spinning disk as the boot drive.
Hwhat’s this? An overabundance of bees in the workplace? My briefcase full of bees ought to put a stop to that!
Cool.
Cool cool cool.

Hi, I have an iPhone and like it because it’s the best device for my needs and Android doesn’t have a critical app I use, and workarounds on Android break things. My case is rare, I admit, but it’s true. I would happily switch to a Pixel once that app’s available on Android.
Assuming that just because I buy a company’s products means I like everything they do is an awfully Rossmanny take though. I like the guy well enough but the blanket statements on things where he doesn’t consider any reasoning other than his worldview absolutely frustrates me.
But the same can be said for some Apple fanboys. The absolute foaming at the mouth when some people get a green text message blaming the customer for buying an Android phone rather than thinking about Apple’s lack of interest in industry standards absolutely baffles me.
Android has many issues with privacy that don’t apply to iOS. While you can degoogle Android, some services don’t work as well and some apps won’t be available at all.
And hey, maybe that’s okay with you! Maybe your phone isn’t as big of an extension of your digital life as it is mine. Maybe it is, but you can get by on exclusively FOSS apps. I think all of that is fantastic, but I am not you, and you are not me, and I think the real sucker is the one who’s sowing division amongst people over how they use their personal devices.
It’s not 2031 yet but I’d absolutely rock a jress
It’s exactly as most people describe: Arch with a Calamares installer, for all the good and bad that entails. I’ve never been sold on Arch for daily driver use since stability and simplicity is paramount to me, so I tend to use Fedora as a relatively up-to-date distro that I can generally trust not to totally break.
However, if you really want to jump in both feet first into troubleshooting and learning Linux, Arch and EndeavourOS are fantastic. Neither holds your hand too much out of the box but they also have an excellent and helpful community and documentation if you run into trouble or don’t know how to do something. Just… you have to be willing to deal with that kinda stuff, and not everyone is (I’m certainly not).
“Abraham Linksys” was a pretty good one I found.
I moved to Pop!_OS entirely when I built my new system earlier this year (had already been using it on my non-gaming laptop for several years) and relegated Windows to an external SSD that has been essentially collecting dust — I think I’ve used it three or four times.
My experience isn’t the same as everyone’s, but I’m not in love with most multiplayer games, my work uses software that can be run within Wine/Bottles or a browser, and my preferred creative outlet is writing, which could also be done in a browser if I wasn’t such a picky bitch (I am, but Scrivener barely needs massaging to work under Wine and can even be made to look native thanks to using Qt).
