  • I don’t think they do actual games for kids anymore, they are money-traps most of the time.

    I’d search instead for old console games and play them on an emulator on Android.

    It might be very confusing for a child if she has never played on a console though, since no touchscreen support and having buttons on the screen instead.



  • Hardware doesn’t need to be too weird. Back when I bought my laptop, it was a kinda recent model so most of its features didn’t work in Ubuntu (I say Ubuntu because it’s the distro that worked best. Tried many others and they had even worse support). After a year or so it worked mostly, except some things.

    To this day, 4 years later, the display brightness control still doesn’t work correctly.

    I don’t think hiding the problems do any good. The Linux desktop/laptop experience is not good, specially for non-programmers. It’s usable, but not good.



  • Razer naga. (A gaming mouse).

    When I bought it, the software didn’t work. (The macros deleted every time I closed Razer synapse). Their customer support team said the solution was to make a razer cloud account so the macros could be stored in the cloud.

    I should’ve returned the mouse right there. But I instead deleted synapse and made my own replacement that didn’t delete macros.

    It worked good enough, until 4 months later the mouse drivers crash every 5 minutes, which disconnects the mouse for 10 or so seconds.
