If it means we get functional public transport and halfway decent bread, I for one welcome our new French overlords. Would you mind yeeting that Fromage bloke into the sea while you're at it? Smashing.

Gen X - who, let's face it, wrote most of this stuff - gets forgotten again.

FiiO make a pretty nice line of digital audio players.

There have been many great singers. But there's only ever been one Ella Fitzgerald.

I think that's generally right, if you just want to play games. I own a MiSTer and really like it; it's convenient, it's quick, and it's really accurate. Where the single-core FPGA systems like the Spectrum Next and C64 Ultimate really come into their own is in things like physical peripherals and the tactile experience of the case and using the keyboard and so on. If that's not important to you, then a MiSTer is going to be a better buy.

A few things in this post are not accurate. The 5070 is supported by the nVidia Linux drivers since version 570.124.04. There's also absolutely nothing wrong with using Ubuntu. They have a PPA for the newer nVidia drivers, which work fine with the current LTS release.

OP doesn't say what kernel they're running, or what version of Ubuntu. That would be useful information to have.

Because - improbably, given its track record elsewhere - the world has worked out that the solution to someone killing kids isn't to kill more kids.

No real issues if you're using X. Some troubles with Wayland, I've heard, but haven't been able to test it personally. You might need to install the proprietary drivers if you want to play games, but that's easy enough to do.

I really, really, really want this to be good. If it isn't, it won't be for lack of enthusiasm for the source material, I guess?

Depends what you're talking about. If it's something like Zorin OS, then yes, it's fine. If you're talking about switching from Fedora to RHEL, it's a bit more complex.

This was also my experience. I played on PC. I think console players had a bad time though.

That is a sensationally good idea.
