I think I'm in the minority, but PS3. It was the most powerful console of its time, it released The Last of Us, Uncharted, Gran Turismo and a ton of other classics and the PSN was free to use.
It also had my favorite game of all time on it - Littlebigplanet 2. The custom levels people made were insane.
I think this is the perfect post to bring up XWayland.
That being said, I haven't used it yet (so I can't comment on whether it works flawlessly)! Can anyone elaborate on their experiences with it? I'm curious on it and don't have my hands on a Linux machine at the moment
That's fair about the staying power, but I prefer playing Multiplayer so the PS2 and 1 never hit the same (I did play them a lot as well though - I had the OG Gran Turismo, Tenchu: Stealth Assassins, Duke Nukem: Time to Kill, Metal Gear Solid and a bunch of others for PS1, and I had NFS: Underground 2, Gran Turismo: A-Spec, Medal of Honor: Frontline and a bunch of others for PS2 as well). I do respect how well they did, but I really enjoy multiplayer (and the PS2 multiplayer didn't do it for me)
For anything lower-spec (like, <4Gb of RAM), Ubuntu absolutely CHUGS because of Snaps. Flatpak has no such issue.
Ironically, Lubuntu (a lightweight Ubuntu fork) worked the best for me while I was using it. No slowness, but I installed pretty much everything using Apt (didn't know about Flatpak back then).
I ended up having it lock up and freeze on the sign-in page though, so I moved on to the slightly heavier Linux Mint.
If you ever want to ruin Princess Mononoke, just think "what exactly does the main character guy do to advance the plot?" The answer: almost nothing haha
