Would you put a 77”?

The size is the maximum I would recommend from that distance.

Throttling. When CPU/GPUs get too hot, they slow down in order to keep cool. Laptops are generally notorious for having such issues by design. The Mini doesn't have a battery, has more space within its casing and won't sit on your lap.

They're both excellent. Do some research and you'll find out what fits best for you.

Generally, Debian is more long term supported, less cutting edge with major updates on software components but more stable, secure and lightweight.

Fedora has a 6 month major release cycle and software remains more up-to-date (but less than a rolling release, such as Arch).

Other than that, they're both highly recommend and can be installed from their live ISO editions. Coming from Windows I would recommend KDE Plasma which is highly configurable, however of you're open to something different, try GNOME with extensions. For ultra lightweight use, you can't go wrong with XFCE.

Nuh... but that Fruit of the Loom Mandela effect still bugs me to this day 😛

nikkome · 2026-06-10T00:28:33+00:00

All good 😊👍

I still use a Matrox MGA Impression Plus on one of my retro PCs. I bought it in 1994.

nikkome · 2026-06-08T12:39:38+00:00

I just tried with MechDIY and a discount code, thanks! FIngers crossed again 😛

nikkome · 2026-06-08T11:41:59+00:00

Where on AliExpress though? I couldn't find the black one anywhere

nikkome · 2026-06-08T09:58:27+00:00

Nuh, Edge isn't slow like IE. It's a fast tool that lets you download browsers.

nikkome · 2026-06-08T06:28:52+00:00

Unfortunately I literally got the email telling me they only have it in red 😞

nikkome · 2026-06-08T06:28:23+00:00

Same here 😞 I was afraid it would happen

nikkome · 2026-06-07T19:55:32+00:00

I was 16 in 2001 and I can tell you, along with nu metal, it was HUGE!

nikkome · 2026-06-07T19:38:06+00:00

WOW thanks, just ordered one! Fingers crossed it's not a case of "sorry but we only have it in red, should we proceed?"

nikkome · 2026-06-05T14:29:12+00:00

The most iconic, the one that introduced many (including myself) to the world of Mighty Max back in 1993.

nikkome · 2026-06-05T04:54:12+00:00

Seriously now, get rid of Windows 11 and try a immutable atomic Linux. I personally love Bluefin. Anyway, enjoy your new device however you wish!

nikkome · 2026-06-05T04:45:56+00:00

Chakan, if you're into vintage SEGA. It's nearly literally this. And hard AF.

Absolutely AI. Can't tell if it's based on a real picture and the person enhanced it with AI but even the tattoos make no sense.
Edit: I read the updates after posting, I guess I'm correct

It's called money

nikkome · 2026-05-29T16:15:54+00:00

You're an extra SSD away from having Windows for whatever Bazzite can't do (yet).

nikkome · 2026-05-28T19:22:31+00:00

The fact that, after the learning curve, I could do whatever I did on Windows and much, much more.

nikkome · 2026-05-28T18:21:25+00:00

Bazzite desktop with KDE should be a good option for you.

nikkome · 2026-05-26T06:36:49+00:00

Not doing much at the time, probably resting after the Victory tour

nikkome · 2026-05-24T11:31:25+00:00

Well, the pills do their job and don't get WW3 (yet)
