Does everything from GSuite that I need it to, but without looking through everything I upload, and analyzing it for advertising and other purposes that I wouldn’t consent to.
Setup remote desktop access using VNC/RDP. It can be useful to access your PC etc while using your phone or other devices. Or accessing a raspberry pi on your main PC
Setup a virtual machine and install Windows in it. It might be a good way to think about migrating to linux as your main OS
Steam. See how performance on Linux compares to Windows for your games.
Does your local library membership include electronic magazines via an app like PressReader? Mine does and there are a ton of free magazines of all genres. In general they have the last three months worth of issues and it might help you find one you like before you buy a paper copy (if indeed that’s your style). Subscriptions are nearly always massively cheaper than buying in the shops.
I particularly enjoy Uncut, as being the best of all the music magazines IMHO. One of the only ones I read cover to cover is Linux Format. And I have a subscription to Retrogamer, but to be honest that’s not very good anymore and I won’t be renewing it.
Yes my local library does have PressReader and I was thinking of checking out the magazines that way like you say :) There are a huge number of options on there though!
It’s a shame that Retrogamer has fallen in quality. Do you know of any other gaming magazines that have pieces worth reading?
New Scientist - I used to read it religiously and you get the right balance of detail and digestibility, at least for me. Others could find it to be a bit too much.
BBC Science Focus - not read it much but it’s a lighter read than New Scientist without dumbing it down.
Fortran Times - covers science and archaeology developments as well as odd news and out-there weirdness often with tongue firmly in cheek.
History Today - one of the leading history magazines
BBC History - another accessible history mag from the Beeb. They produce a few others that could be of interest: Countryfile, Sky St Night, Wildlife and Music.
Prospect magazine - not read it but it’s a popular general-interest magazine that doesn’t dumb things down.
The Idler - it may be of interest but it’s come and gone a few times since I last read it.
Best bet might be sampling a few and see what tickles your fancy.
I hadn’t considered the BBC ones, that’s a good suggestion. I like the sound of Prospect, but unfortunately it doesn’t appear to be available via my library - perhaps once to buy physically if I see it around. Thank you!
I started playing it last year because my nephew wanted someone to play (apart from his friends at school). I kept playing it on a regular basis (I had bought the base game years ago, but have not paid anything since). I enjoy the colorful graphics which run fine even on my 10+ old gaming PC. Some rounds are short and you’re dead within minutes but often I reach top ten, but even then the rounds aren’t taking that long (20 to 30 minutes), which is something I like about the game, because I barely take the time to have hour-long gaming sessions any more. Despite its looks skill makes a difference when it comes to aiming and movement (most special weapons are movement skills). I mostly play the no building mode because I can’t manage shooting and building at the same time.
