There's been a lot of work on different recompilation tools lately. XenomRecomp and N64Recomp being two big ones.
Obviously it still takes a lot of work to go from a re-compiled console rom to a fully working PC port. But some fans are just crazy dedicated like that.
Yup I've been using Firefox-UI-Fix for a long time now.
Used it back on Firefox and it worked fine when I switched to Librewolf.
I was surprised how many co-workers my age and younger (GenZ) don't even own a laptop let alone a desktop.
I know it was becoming more niche, but didn't expect it to happen that fast...
As much of a Linux fanboy as I am, I just kinda hate platform exclusives in general when it comes to gaming.
Something fun could be Steam items you can only gain through playing the game on Linux, Like the promotional in-game items you got for playing TF2 on the launch of the Mac and Linux versions.
Waterfox is the safe bet, it's basically just regular Firefox repacked with better defaults and telemetry turned off, but it isn't harden or has add-ons included.
LibreWolf is what I switched to over a year ago, The team behind it have been pretty thorough in scraping out spyware and it comes pre-hardened out the box (but that can break more invasive websites).
Plugins will only change it on your end and Google won't care since they still make money farming your data when you use their services.
Best to just try get used to OSM and other Google service alternatives.
I also checked and DuckDuckGo's Map also changed to "Gulf of America" might be time to give SearXNG another try.
As someone who started using Linux while on Nvidia and stuck with it for over a year before going full AMD.
Just go AMD, so many little things I had to find workarounds for just because of Nvidias shitty drivers.
Even after Nvidia claimed to support wayland I could never get it to run on my install, then having to manually configure my xorg just to get my 170hz monitor working which then introduced graphical issues I just couldn't fix...NONE of that was an issue the moment I swapped to a RX 7800 XT, didn't even have to install any drivers they're just standard in the kernal.
We need more glossy dark mode themes!
I had a similar blue & black theme through Windowblinds back on Win7 for a while.
This one ^
The physical comedy alone is gold, Also you won't leave their parents dealing with the nightmares like some of these movies...unless they really fear someone breaking in to piss on their rug.
I mainly use my Deck for racing games and actually played a lot of MC3 using PCSX2.
Pretty much every PS2 era racing game can be emulated flawlessly nowadays.
A lot of them also got PC ports but getting them and running them takes some manual tinkering. But for the older Need for Speed games the PC version is the best way to go with all the community made fixes and mods.
I've also recently played through the PSP version of Midnight Club LA and it was pretty great, felt closer to MC3 than the main HD console version.
Seagate has been very hit n miss with me. I've had one of their drives last near a decade only for a newer model of the same drive to fail within 6 months.
What's generally considered more reliable brands for around the same price? preferably ones easy to grab in the UK.
Welcome to the Club!
I had a similar issue around 2 years ago now on POP where my bootloader didn't even show up in the bios anymore.
If you still have the a USB with the live boot of POP you can use it to recover your files n stuff.
