Count me in on the espresso machine. I'd not complain at the PS5 mind you, but I like me some really good coffee.

That number is way too low, we ought to be at more than that right now.

Yes, myself included.

I'm looking for a terminal like warp that's Linux compatible and this initially looked promising but the comments on how bloated it is is discouraging.

Super Mario RPG and Civ 6 still getting tons of mileage

Not that I have progressed enough financially yet to be in a position to buy a Tesla Model S, it's gone from a dream car to something I'd be ashamed to own because of being disillusioned by who Elon Musk is over the past few years.

Yeah beyond tower defence games I agree.

Play whatever you want, I doubt you're getting weird looks for playing anything in public.

I personally despise the mobile gaming industry as a whole for its propensity for going live service or shovelware in the vast majority of instances. Of course I can think of gems in the rough but in many cases it went for a business model I ended being disappointed in.

At the end of the day, the switch and steam deck are far preferable on the go gaming platforms that suit me much better.

This is good information.

Yeah I imagine the struggles I had with Debian had something to do with enabling proprietary drivers and firmware and leveraging those. Before getting those drivers, the default nouveau drivers were awful, the performance was comically bad.

I'm also not a Linux power user though, so for sure any or all of the above could be meatware issues.

I'm about ready to hop back in and daily drive Linux again after the nightmare that was attempting debian w/KDE plasma and Wayland. I have a Nvidia GPU on my laptop and for some reason I did not have luck at all after moderate success daily driving opensuse tumbleweed and kubuntu for a while.

I'm admittedly looking to onboard myself to the gnome workflow and leave the comfort of the windows style desktop environment experience. Gnome seems a bit more polished and stable than KDE plasma but it's interface isn't intuitive to me yet.

Ideally I'll be using Debian or Arch when the time comes for me to dive back into desktop Linux.

I hummed hawed on this over the past few years to finally end up in the pixel watch 2, being sold on getting workout, sleep and general heartrate metrics.

This is a daunting proposition, I'm admittedly massively invested in Google's ecosystem. Gmail and Google calendar, I have a pixel phone, watch and buds and have YouTube premium. I feel like the time I switch is when I have a homelab and am able to find open source alternatives to everything heavily use and be able to do so with all devices I use.
