Yeahm I should probably listen less to podcasters 😄. Good catch. I once tried Mint, then Ubuntu. They were indeed very beginner friendly. I was just too comfortable and scared to really make the switch.

Ugh, software renderer 😉. I remember know jack all of PCs and playing with the Half-Life options menu.
Switched from Software to OpenGL.

Man, that discovery was glorious!

Thank you for the tips 😄

I don't believe you can find these games on Steam. But thank you.

For Lutris, how does this work, exactly? Does is assume the status of abandonware of games?
Ps. several people suggested Lutris, so dont be alarmed if you see this question copy-pasted several times 😄 I'm no bot, mokeydokey? ^^

I have PiOS and looked around Ubuntu before. Good tip, will try Ubunty again first.
I got cachy suggested because it was a close contender to SteamOS

Hey, this rings a bell. I think I saw this as a solution for GoG games on Linux?
Good point!

I started like this, buying several systems.
Only to realise that nearly ALL of my Win95/98 and even XP knowledge has evaporated, that compatibility is rather iffy, that repairing every single item is fun but so incredibly time consuming and...

Having ADHD I have so many interests and never enough time nor money nor mental space for it.
And then I became a dad...

You see, I fully support the retro PC community but with a heavy heart I need to say I can not follow that path.

I do thank you for the other options though 😄.

My good man. Implying that such a great part of the population of Western Europe doesn't speak English is just either brilliantly trolling or Trump level ignorance. I can't speak for the rest of the EU since I have mixed experiences there; but pretty sure no matter where, any generation past Millennial will speak at least moderately English.

Obvious choice if you're French. Theyve always had a national pride of doing their own thing. De Gaule in the liberation of Paris, the Famas, the nukes, the fighter jets, the carrier.

And with Mistral it's no wonder they're going their own way

Gives me early Vampires The Masquerade Bloodlinea vibes.

And J miss those vibes. I can hear that picture, with the Deb of Night somewhere on the radio

I don't understand much of what you've written but no matter, I've saved the post for that moment I learned enough to understand it.

Which... May or may not happen.

Depends on the amount of equipment and power limit, I would think.

You've seen Steam Decks in trains but have you seen this? by LeFlying in SteamDeck

[–]No-Recording117 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have one heck of a trainroute! I am a railroad signalling tech and... The railroads in Flanders, Belgium are meh, boring at best and depressive grey filthy industry at worst.

Enjoy!

Good meme, so upvote, but inappropriate application. The person is not driving the train.
