New guy at work's legal name is Emilejustin, and goes by Justin. Effectively the Emile is silent.

2006, the year the PS3 came out. I asked for one and they were sold out everywhere. We were out shopping and I finally got my hands on a 20GB one, and my mom refused to buy it. She said she knew I had asked for the 60GB model and thought we'd find one eventually. I was devastated because I knew there was no way we'd find one anywhere before Christmas.

I woke up Christmas morning at like 2AM and opened the box over the tree, and it was a 60GB model. My parents had a friend the next state over who was able to find one, and they had already hidden it in the attic by the time I had found that 20GB one, so my mom had to make up excuses not to buy another one.

I plugged it in so it could start updating, then put it back in the box so I could "open" it in front of the family once everyone else was awake.

Ditto Boost. I have accounts on Lemmy and PieFed both on the same app.

Echoing what others have said, a "gaming distro" really isn't necessary. I have used Ubuntu for years on and off. When I switched my gaming PC to Linux earlier this year I went with Kubuntu, because it's just Ubuntu and I like KDE Plasma better than Gnome. I do feel like Ubuntu is one of the easiest to find support for when you're looking online.

I've been doing this with Flashlight Tiramisu for years. Even replaced the quick settings button with one that opens that app instead of I long press it. Good that it's baking into the OS though. Mostly mentioning for anyone who doesn't want to wait.

I use Abraham Linksys, even now that I've moved on from Linksys routers (mostly too lazy to update all my IoT devices).
