Growing up in a 3rd world country. When my father gave me a PS2 it was hacked to play pirated games. We also burned CDs on our PC before that.

The golden days of Ultimate-Guitar uaer submitted tabs and pirated Guitar Pro 5 (which my guitar teacher gave to me on a burned CD) Good times.

Speaking of the state of piracy, how is the state of piracy on Linux? I usually only do that stuff on Windows, I've never tried installing Repacks and such on my Linux machines.

Yeah I tried actually joining a Foundry game because my friends wanted to use it instead of Roll20 for our next game. We only really played two sessions on it amd it was an absolute nightnare, so many technical problems that it completely soured the experience. The first session had a TWO HOUR delay because the thing wasn't working and had to install a bunch of addons, and then I had to install a different browser because it didn't want to work with what I had at the moment. Pissed me off, ngl.

Linux Mint. That's always the answer. It's lightweight, it's simple, it's easy, it does what you need. Even gaming. SomeOrdinaryGamers did a vidso on YT about installing it, it's pretty easy!

I remember when U-G used to be good. You just downloaded the user submitted tabs and there you go. Now thing thry have are ASCII charts from 2010 and ads.

Songsterr is much better now, even if most of it's tabs are suspiciously similar to the same user submitted guitar pro files I remember from back in the day.

I'd copy my Doom and Quake folders, hoping the modern sourceports still work on them. Well, PrBoom+ and ZDoom should both work. Then all my emulators up to the 32-bit era, some music and the seasons of Kamen Rider and Ultraman that I'm currently watching.Honestly I could just bring my actual external hard drive or my HP laptop from 2013 that I installed Linux on. It's what I got on those.

Yup, that one.

Ares is a standalone emulator that also does Nintendo and PC Engine consoles. Very versatile.

Eh, if it's installed on your machine you get to keep whatever it is. I have both Kega and Retroarch installed for Genesis emulation anf it's alright. I think Ares does that too?
