Sonic Adventure 2’s problem is that it didn’t have enough speed character stages. iirc, the dark side story only had three shadow stages and that’s it, the rest were either the “meh” eggman stages or the god awful emerald shard stages.

The hero side story wasn’t as bad since it had more sonic stages, but only barely.

I can go back to SA1 quite a bit, because despite the jankiness, the stages are really fun and you can tackle them in many different ways like you could with the Genesis games.

I mean, it would work, but you would be better off power-wise, price-wise, and performance-wise, going with a used office PC such as Optiplex.

KDE Plasma 5.

It’s default on Slackware =P

Please tell you to at least have Freexian patches installed…

It all started when I was a teenager and I lost access to my photobucket account…

Now that’s a name I haven’t heard in a looooong time.

“”“donates”“”

I’m not a student, I got a full time job =P

Only for 3rd party repos, but for main updates, I use slackpkg since it automatically prompts me for updating configs and all that.

You’ll also be probably shocked to hear that i’m a Slackware user in their 20’s =P

Been using Slackware going on 3 years now.

KDE was an example, but a lot of other things come out of the box with Slackware. And of course, that package isn’t a thing that comes out of the box.

Regular Slackware user here.

The biggest reason I use Slackware personally is that it’s the only distro I’d consider a “full system” out of the box. What that means, is that I install it, and I don’t really install much outside of the repos.

For example, the kde set comes with pretty much every KDE app. I do mean all of them. With other distros, I either have to go hunting for what packages are named what in the repos and spend hours getting everything setup and installed. While on Slackware, I pick the partitions, install, and I have a full desktop with everything I could possibly need.

Some would say “Oh, but that would take a lot of disk space.”, and funny thing about that, is with BTRFS compressio enabled. A full install of Slackware is only 4gb =P

Legacy Support for old Automation Scripts (Script expecting to press e rather than m)

If you go down the VPS route, a headscale server on a cheap $3.50 VPS would be the way to go. Wouldn’t even have to deal with IP addresses at that point, while still being able to self-host all your services, with the cheap VPS being a glorified switch/firewall.

Until recently, that “support” had been a barely supported forks of the linux kernel that were barely updated, and was so locked down that custom rom support was a pipedream on snapdragon processors. Which to be fair, is par for the course on most ARM chipsets (It’s the reason you see a lot of custom roms for android have extremely old and outdated kernels)

I’m glad to see more ARM companies moving towards working with upstream projects, and not just making working on their stuff a PITA to protect “Trade Secrets” or some bullshit like that.

A used mini computer, like a lenovo thinkcentre, hp prodesk mini, and dell optiplex micro.

Yep, my homeserver spends most of it’s time idling, so power management kicks in.

Now when one of my build VMs are running, it’ll get up to that range, but that’s why I said it runs at 10 watts usually

The last time I checked, mine runs at about 5-10 watts usually.
