Everyone hypes Mint but if you’re working with newish hardware you might have a bad time due to the drivers taking a while to mature and filter down through all the distros. If her rig is a couple years old it should work just fine though. I would also suggest trying out Kubuntu, Pop!_OS, PikaOS, and Zorin if that is the case.

If she is on brand new hardware then something Arch based is the way to go IMO. CachyOS, Garuda, and EndeavorOS are all Arch based distros that make setup easy and they’ve all worked great for me out of the box. Honestly if you have snapshots configured with timeshift or something being on a rolling distro isn’t as scary as it’s made out to be. Fedora is an option too as they get updates every 6 months, but there is a little extra setup to do after install like media codecs and proprietary drivers etc.

Cachyos was my personal pick and it’s working perfect for me so far.

I have issues with Ubuntu based distros and my Nvidia card, Arch based seems to work great though. Don’t ask me why lol, I’m just getting back into Linux and still learning but that was my experience.

You can try a distro that includes the driver on installation to avoid a some of the headache. I have a 4060ti and I’m using Cachyos with zero issues.

Emulators are where it’s at on Android, at least for me. There’s a handful of good native android games but you can play so so many fantastic old games using emulators.

Here’s a thorough guide on setting it up:

It seems like a lot to take in just to play some games but I promise it’s easier than it looks to get up and running.

Who the hell is renting PCs? Sounds like a scam without even looking into this.

Ah yes, “sports”, I got ya ;)

Do a lot of slurs have a wikipedia page?

The graphics look crazy, almost like real Legos.

I see that as a bonus lol

The practical reason people use balanced jacks is because they push more power which allows you to use headphones with lower sensitivity. I have a few pairs myself that would benefit from this, they have relatively low ohm ratings so the high impedance setting on my V60 doesn’t get triggered when I plug them in and they are very quiet.
