… usually comments like this imply I goofed on spelling, but I can’t see which word it was. Can you point it out to me plz?
I run 16 Bit Virtual Studios. You can find more reviews from me on YouTube youtube.com/@16bitvirtual or other social media @16bitvirtual, and we sell our 3D Printed stuff on 16bitstore.com

Here’s the guide I used: https://www.standingpad.org/posts/2024/06/affinity-on-linux/
The only thing I did differently was I used this yaml to make the container: https://gist.github.com/gnat/8b69cf49b68e2349afe5e8cb5af49bf8
There’s a bit of tinkering afterwards, but it runs.
Pretty stable from my testing, outside of a few crashes when I was asking too much of it.
That said Inkscape/gimp/kirta are good alternatives if you are in the market.
While it’s a pain to setup, Affinity does work in Bottles and a specific build of Wine. Not easy to do, but it’s possible.
Arch isn’t too hard with the AUR offering packages that said I only stuck out with Manjaro. They had a GUI to help with the install.
I personally wouldn’t advise using it if you are new to Linux. I use Linux Mint and it’s been amazing for my work load. (Cad video editing and games.)
While the safe bet with Linux is AMD, it’s not like Nvidia or Intel are bad options for Linux. (,running RTX 3050 and 12100f).
It just depends on your platform and how comfortable you are with tinkering.
From my testing, Ubuntu based, is the easiest to get up and running while Fedora and arch can take a bit of work.
For my recommendation, look at the games you wanna run and see what they recommend for hardware. An in general safe bet, 12th gen Intel i3/i5 or 3rd gen Ryzen is a good bet for cheap hardware still in stock in stores or online. Upgrade is good (12-14th on the same socket & 1-5th gen Ryzen on the same socket).
Graphics cards works on both, and AmD and Nvidia works on Linux, though Nvidia is behind on support, but not by much games will be stable.
Only if you live in the US or UK. Lol I didn’t realize Amazon’s international kneecapping of their products moved to include hardware along with software.
For context if you are Canadian you don’t get access to overdrive or audiobooks on Kindle. Fun fact this also includes their fire tablets.
Depends on region… depends on what you want to read… depends on you e-reader.
For example a kobo or a kindle will only read from kobo and amazon respectively.
Kobo and Google Play Books is my first stop to shop, since it supports Adobe Digital Editions, along with their own apps.
Amazon is my second stop. Not because I like them, I’m I. The same boat as you. But believe it or not their encryption is based off of your devices serial number. And you can DeDRM your Kindle books very easily.
Then it’s from publishers directly if they let you, like J-Novel Club is pricy but they offer drm free books.
My last option is obscure, but cool if you are looking for a deal. Humble Bundle is where I go for textbooks and older series. Only issue is they sell only in Bundles, and you’d get a lot of stuff you may not necessarily want. But the deals are crazy if you don’t want to pirate.
Finally depending on value and how much I feel the book is worth, I may sail the high seas.
Honestly if you are looking to move to Canada, they are desperately looking for Nurses especially out in Eastern Canada like Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.
Immigration is being tightened right now, but if you already have a degree and looking to get recertified here its a good starting point.

Because printing in Linux both works and is supported and not supported and hope that there are drivers and they work.
For example, I have a brother printer and in both arch and Ubuntu/mint the printer worked out of the box. But I was missing features like double sided printing. So I had to download drivers for it.
In arch the drivers were on the AUR, so I was printing is seconds.
In Ubuntu/mint they weren’t in my package manager, so I had to go to brother’s website and hope they had drivers. Brother did and while it took a bit it did work too. No worse than windows.
Twaddle: something insignificant or worthless or another word Nonsense.
Discovered this word while reading the dictionary during silent reading in English and they wouldn’t let me play games.
Welp I guess this also includes NSO games.
I’m not worried, after all I didn’t use any emulators
For me I was looking for reliability, so I ended up with Prusa. But I ended up with them thanks to a few simple rules I followed.
Can the machine and it’s parts be replaced with off shelf components?
Does it use, or is the platform compatible with open source slicers (Prusaslicer/Cura)?
Does the community support the device with mods on 3D model repositories (Thingiverse/Printables)?
Does the manufacturer have a track record for support (or the lack thereof)?
Before I got my Prusa, the Creality Ender 3 was the goto, and it was a really reliable machine. For my printing needs I need a direct drive print head, and a better auto bed leveling routine. But the Ender 3 s1 looks pretty good as an alternative.
Favourite as in the one I love the most. Model 1 Genesis, or Virtual Boy. Love their aesthetic.
Favourite as in best Library. PS1/PS2. Massive library of games which are still being enjoyed decades after they were launched.
Favourite as in still using. By my books, I’d consider the PS Vita as retro now, if not then the Nintendo DS/PSP.
Bold assumption to think that I have a Neogeo pocket color. (I’m broke)
I have a dell laptop with that port too. Upgraded my CD drive to a CD/DVD combo drive
Pokemon Sapphire/Emerald/Ruby/Leaf Green/Fire Red were my goto especially for grinding. From sound and memorization along you can play pokemon without looking… Or at least I could.
Zelda Oracle of Ages is another game which I found calming. Its more puzzle than combat, but there is still combat. Not goof got meeting but good for afterwards.
The GBC Harry Potter games or Prisoner of Azkaban are fun RPGs that I played before Pokemon. A fun time too, and can almost be played under a desk (don’t ask how I know)
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, rogue like endless(ish) dungeon crawler. Amazing story, but the post game is just a grind perfect for fiddling as you are just doing the same thing for 99 levels… Until you find the boss. Better on DS with Blue rescue team, but red on GBA is a good choice.
Outside of mega man battle network, the rest of my games are platformers which don’t fit the bill
My desktop is now unplugged, I am too terrified to plug it back in. Send help
Yeah, we’ll see. I presume it’ll be fine… Or cool enough not to melt the PLA
