I can't help you directly, but I can offer some encouagemnet on the Linux front. I just installed Pop!Os on a 15 year old laptop. The only technical things I had to do were download the software that let me put the installer on a flash drive, and dig up one console command to enable the very old touchscreen. Everything else in the experience has been as easy as Windows. In some cases, easier - for example, software updates don't force the computer to restart

I asked the same question about gay people back in the 90s and it was the start of me moving away from a conservative mindset. I'm straight enough that the answer teenage me landed on was "someone gayer than I am, but unwilling to admit it to themselves. Or a liar."

Just noticed what community this is. Pandora might also be US-based.

I prefer Pandora's algorithm for music. But I haven't looked into their skeletons yet.

Remember to send them an email and let them know you're boycotting them. They don't have to know how long you've been doing it.

You should be doing both if you can. Doing local stuff can help to get a local office

Sometimes you just need to send some dogs into that meeting and shoot the first plan that comes flying out.

"You can't have your cake and eat it" The older form was flipped: "you can't eat your cake and have it" They both can mean about the same, but the older form makes it much clearer - if you've eaten your cake, you no longer have it. But you could have your cake, then eat it.

I have a Viture One and an Xreal Air 2. They're both solid for gaming as a screen directly attached to your face. Neither do floating or body-anchored screens out of the box. The Xreal can do it with a breakout box, and the new generation of the Xreal that's coming out in March is supposed to do it on its own.

Viture One came with a better carrying case and is easier to hook up in the dark. It's slightly more comfortable to wear, and it has built-in focusing dials. Picture quality is good for gaming and watching videos, but not good enough for extended text reading - books and websites aren't recommended.

The Xreal Air 2 has a much better screen, good enough for reading for an hour or so. The edges get some chromatic aberration, but most of the screen is good. It requires prescription inserts if you need glasses - a mixed blessing since it adds a hidden $80 to the price, but means you can wear them as real glasses. The nose bridge has size options, but none are quite as comfortable as the Viture. The Xreal uses standard USB-C cables, which is good for compatibility, but bad for attaching in the dark. As mentioned above, Xreal has a breakout box that gives different options for how the screen is displayed - attached to your head, attached with a delay (better for motion sickness), PiP so you can look at the real world with your media in the corner of your vision, and attached to your body giving the illusion of a TV screen sitting a distance from you.

It depends on what you're looking to do with the screen, but I'd probably wait until the new generation of Xreals.

I too have friends that could use some sense.

Mine's around somewhere, too. I didn't do a lot of gaming on it, but it was a very solid media streaming box for the time.

I enjoyed my Ouya back in the day.

Postman was great! The book is worth a read, too.

I picked up a construction-grade tablet PC back in 2010, and while I haven't been todler-tough on it, it's still running great and the peace of mind of it being so rugged has been great.

My current setup has 6, but that's across 3 PCs and a devkit.

I figure I should follow up on this.

I tried a bunch of distros and settled on Pop! OS. It has the most touchscreen support for the aging two-touch device I have. Mate was a close second, but some of the store and settings pages don't support touch scrolling. And I couldn't find the on-screen keyboard. Gnome was also solid, but had some similar issues to Mate. It's OSK popped up reliably, but would lose contact with the text field that I was trying to type in. Mint/Cinnamon was ok. Couldn't find the OSK, and required a bunch of mouse interaction. Lomiri has a very nice system tray for touch, long-holding expands the tray and swiping moves between the tray items. But a lot of the functionality is hidden off the sides of the screen which makes general interactions more challenging than I'm looking for. Feren is just bad. Lots of things either have no touch functionality, or touches highlight, but don't activate buttons. Had to use a mouse to do much of anything. I also made an attempt at Postmarket OS, but couldn't get it to boot on my machine.
