My computer suddenly died when I was an unemployed student, about 12 years ago. I had no money for a new one or repairs, etc. It was pretty devastating.

Then I somehow discovered my city’s local Freegeek, (the one in Vancouver BC) - I was able to buy an refurbished Ubuntu tower for $35. They showed me how to use it, invited me back if I needed help, and were generally super kind and helpful.

It was a very nice introduction to the world of open source. I had no clue such a thing as free software and OS even existed before then. Ive been using linux ever since, as much as possible.

ScummVM works really well in linux, if youre a fan of classic point and click adventure games.

I was going to say this as well. Its a very fun and well designed kart racer, Ive been playing it with my son for years.

This seems more like something to keep in mind when posting rather than a “DON’T USE LEMMY!!” kind of thing.
