1337x usually has whatever I need. Although I mostly just pirate games and the occasional movie or series. I don’t have fuck you money to run a data center in my garage

As much as I’d like to drive 90s shitboxes for the rest of my life, the cynic in me thinks we’ll see something like cash for clunkers on a global scale. It’s only a matter of time before the supply runs dry and parts become nearly impossible to find at a reasonable price

When I was in college, libreoffice calc was a good enough Excel alternative to get me through finance, accounting, statistics and business science. I graduated in 2020 to give you some perspective. Worst case you run a pirated Windows VM with pirated Office. Also, shame on all the downvoting fucks who probably are too privileged to have any business being on this community

There’s a lot of good advice in here. If shit hits the fan and nothing else works, you can install the repack in a Windows VM, copy the install directory to the host, and add the exe to Bottles. Easy money

I play a lot of older AAA games and piracy has been a life saver. I tried playing Assassin’s Creed 4 with a legit steam copy and couldn’t even play offline because of the stupid Ubisoft launcher. With a pirated copy, you skip the launcher and get a better experience than a paying customer. Just stick to reputable groups like fitgirl and you’re fine

For what it’s worth I had a good experience emulating the switch version on steam deck. And that’s not exactly top of the line hardware

Fuck, I rely on this for gmail and whatsapp

I will say, I have a crappy laptop with Windows on it. Sometimes I’ll just install games on there and just copy them over to my Steam Deck. Add the game exe to Bottles, run Boilr then boom it’s in my Steam library working just fine

Great choice. If you go specifically with the IoT LTSC version you’re also supported until 2032
