Yooooo nice! Congrats!

Consoles are grouped into “generations” since they are usually released close together, and it’s console-neutral (less perceived bias)

7th gen is Xbox 360, PS3, and the Wii (the GOATs because I grew up during that, peak of console gaming in my opinion)

I feel like it’s probably around Windows 8 too, they started tacking on MS store, Xbox, and other stuff nobody wanted. Vista and 7 has also added various telemetry bits, unstable updates, that sort.

Windows 10 was definitely when that accelerated though, forced MS account, sooooo much bloat, etc. And Windows 11 is a disaster for everyone (except the shareholders and data brokers)

I’ve recently convinced a sibling to dual boot Fedora KDE too!

I switched nearly two years ago, at first to Fedora Workstation (because GNOME looked neat), then I moved to KDE Plasma (still nuts you can do that by the way, just swap out your desktop). About a year ago I distro hopped to EndeavourOS, which is Arch with small tweaks to make it nicer (but closer to vanilla Arch than CachyOS), still with KDE, and just last week I switched to Niri + Noctalia and am very happy! Linux is awesome and superior to Windows in every way for my usecases

I love Otoboke Beaver too! Definitely a fun band to listen too

My littlest brother still loves replaying Titanfall 2 on the PS4

The PS4 (the original)! I used to love playing on the Wii as a kid during “social skills class”, which I attended because I was diagnosed with Asperger’s (now part of the autistic spectrum), but we never had one at home.

Hooray for emulation! PS2 and GameCube were a golden age for gaming, and the DS/3DS catalogue is unfathomably large.

I don’t think we need to dedicate a holiday to some racist guy. Strokes the ego of the racists too much in my opinion.

We should also abolish the birthdays of monarchs as holidays for similar reasons.
