I feel seen.
I am sitting in front of a free tv I got because it has some failed leds, it has an old laptop I got for free from a client plugged into it. I have the same exact trackball mouse. But I am running ubuntu.
I recommend going to the rom archives and loading up. My rig is old and can't handle anything past gamecube emulation. Be nice to play some og cod zombies.
Oh, and check out KDEconnect, turn your phone into an airmouse. and a bunch of other cool shit.
Need any free streaming site rec's?
Sure! Always happy to hear any recommendations!
I'm a huge fan of rom archives! A few years ago I built an arcade cabinet using as many secondhand parts and materials as possible and set it up to run a ton of games on an ewaste retropie. It took months longer to make than it would have if I'd just gone to a lumberyard but I had the space and time, and I was already on the local free groups daily so keeping an eye out for stuff from my parts list wasn't hard.
