I've never had a desktop PC. I have always wanted to build one but never had the money/time for it. I've been using the same laptop since 2016 until it recently started breaking (mostly due to toddlers). I casually mentioned this to a friend and they offered me their kids old PC for free. It was some 4th gen i3 with a 1050ti so pretty old spec. I've uograded with a ssd, a i7 4790k and 980ti all for around $130. It is pretty decent for gaming and ive never had a game run poorly as of yet. Very happy with my 10 year old hardware!

Missing those troll science threads

I'm hoping that steamos will make Linux much more popular so that devs take notice. Whilst wine/proton are amazing anticheat still exists. If enough people move to steamos they will have to make sure they're not excluded

I sort of regretted downloading massive rom packs for retro consoles because I never actually get round to playing them. it's so hard to settle on one when there's so much choice. But now with the recent crack downs on ROM sites I'm really glad I've preserved them. Hoard away friend!

You could use freezer instead

Honestly I think it would be easier to find rompacks with more seeders, Download batocera and then add your Roms yourself. It's not that much more work although it might feel like it

Damn shit like this freaks me out I wonder how easy I would be to track down

No worries, gotta share the booty!

I personally use adguard to block connections whilst also doubling up as ad/tracker blocker. You can also route different apps through a proxy network such as tor if you want certain apps to be more private

Mobilism is good for games/apps. Most of the apks have trackers removed and have access to paid content. If you're particularly concerned you could block them with a firewall

If you don't get an answer here might be worth trying mobilism forum. That's where I get a my apks
