We should have never lost the capability to have LAN parties for all games.
Just yesterday I wiped the drive and installed Linux on the 3rd old PC for the LAN setup I’m putting together, literally “for the children!”
It’s an i7-920 from 2008. It has TRIPLE channel ram, baby. I installed Linux Mint Cinnamon and it was as quick and painless as usual.
I already get the warm fuzzies when I walk into the room and find my 3rd grader playing on my PC instead of their tablet or even the console. Our first LAN party is gonna be sweet.
I used to dream once that I would be able to give my future son Q4OS to grow up with and if a daughter, something like PuppyOS. Alas, I’m a single 30-something guy living in his parent’s basement with no real prospects of owning my own home or getting laid—so go figure. At least somebody out there is living the dream! 🤝

You still can. By setting up a VPN.
Though it doesnt bring to couch closer.
