I have two main ones, and I use them at work when people message me over teams.

I’m not sure if you’re trying to imply that pmjv is an AI evangelist. Maybe look at the content of you’re not familiar.

I always thought the Rocky Theme or Alan Parsons Project Sirius would work great. But I’ve never really tried.

I control a htpc with an Xbox gamepad. Bazzite I don’t even think about updates, it just happens instead of saying “should probably update” and unplugging my nose and keyboard from my other PC. Or leaving mouse and keyboard sit on the floor in front of my tv cabinet.

Most handheld suppliers are shipping windows, replacing it with an immutable system is definitely the way to go. On screen keyboards are play I guess, but even my experience just doing a regular distro on a tablet it was a hassle.

Look, I’m not going into detail on this anymore. But I want to say I’m surprised by how much people are pushing back. “Oh instead of using bazzite, you could setup rsync to do an a/b switch with your server if something goes wrong”. (Elsewhere in these comments).

I just didn’t think it would be so much for people to accept there are use cases for why people do things differently to them.

I hadn’t seen that. I think he started this one in 2020, is a fairly decent chunk of effort to put into something.

You think I should tell a You think I should tell a 6 year old kid to fix a broken Linux system? I’m sorry this has turned from discussion into bullshit.

Because when I finish my 10 hour shift, get home from my 2 hour commute, to my 6 year old kid crying because she managed to fuck her Minecraft machine up somehow, I don’t want to spend my only free half hour that day trying to work or what she did.

That’s not a learning opportunity for her. Even if she had the patience to sit there and watch me try to fix it, she won’t r get what I’m doing. And after getting up at 5.30, getting home at 7.30 watch how good I am at not just swearing at the thing instead.

A htpc in which you just need to launch media

A steam Deck like handheld in which you just want your game launcher

A PC for a kid whom you don’t want messing around with system files

A PC for your technologically inept family members to just use as an email/browser/word processor

Ikey has a tendency to abandon his projects. Solus was good when he started it, it barely survived a few restructures after he left, but it was quickly getting outpaced by other distros anyway.

If this one suits you, that’s great, and independent community distros can be cool.

Haven’t seen that come up a lot. I have seen “I want official support from valve” and “I want to support valve”. Not so much of what you’ve suggested.

Definitely no two player. It was a pretty butchered port.

Mega drive ports were generally great. Ghouls n ghosts was better than the arcade absolutely, but ghosts n goblins only had that piss poor nes port.

Super Hang On on mega drive, I love that game, but the frame rate really kills it.

Altered Beast. Amazing on mega drive, but I played the shit out of it in arcade and I just think it’s not close. As a kid I absolutely did, but it feels a bit sloppy now. I started with the master system port, the MD version goddamn blew me away though!

Smash TV feels good on mega drive but I can’t get down with the controls. Xeno Crisis all these years later just feels so much better somehow though

The Double Dragon port on mega drive, ouch. I love the Master system version, actually I was on the fence about putting DD on this list because I do love the Master system version more than the arcade, but that’s not a convincing argument. I played so much DD arcade in the pub near where I grew up, years later I played the rom on mega drive emulator and it’s not a fun time. It’s the fighting and weird animation speed or something.

Primal rage is super fun on mega drive, that’s how I used to play it with my cousins. It was ages later that I played an arcade version. Mega drive has the fun gameplay but that arcade version really shows how the game is carried by graphical spectacle. Obviously you won’t find an arcade for comparison now, but check out the Saturn version. Just much better.

Go the other way, like the original post title actually asked for 😑. Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter ports, I love the mega drive ports more, they lose graphical fidelity but they play so much more fun. Paperboy, best on mega drive. Golden Axe is definitive on the mega drive. Strider, I’ll take the mega drive version all day. Alien Storm, more fun on mega drive.

If we want to talk 32x, I’ve still got mine from 30 years ago. Afterburner and Space Harrier are excellent. I know I said Space Harrier was better in arcade, but that’s because realistically people aren’t counting 32x as the console version. Space Harrier on master system is great for that system, but it’s no arcade. Space Harrier 2 on mega drive, same as hang on, just should have been great but almost unplayable frame rate.

Final Fight on mega cd is a very good port. Still not as good as the arcade, but as enjoyable.

Final Fight on SNES was just bad. Guy removed as a character choice. No two player mode. An incredibly low sprite limit, like no more than 3 or 4 characters on screen at once. One of the stages is cut out.

One I’m always interested in but never tried is Void Linux

I’ll just smack myself in the head here

I feel like an idiot, bit also I was trying to get kids to sleep for 4 hours in the middle of the night. So can’t be too hard on myself.

There’s a lot. Consoles didn’t have the power to deliver what arcade machines could.

Altered Beast, Double Dragon, Primal Rage, Hang On, Space Harrier, Rampage, ghosts n goblins, Bad Dudes, Smash TV, Final Fight

The ones that did better on consoles were either made into different games or had some other gameplay improvement to make it more appealing.

I play cyberpunk and similar sized games from an SD card on steam Deck. It’s not brutal.

I’ve got them all!

Zelda, Final Fantasy, Metroid, Star Wars, Warcraft, Metal Gear, Resident Evil, Castlevania, Mortal Kombat, Tomb Raider

Those last few got kind of weak. Only few episodes and not as engaging as the earlier stuff.
