I’d recommend Bazzite. It’s a gaming-focused immutable distro. The base system is an image and updates are automatic; a 13-year old might already be familiar with this kind of system because it’s similar to how Chromebooks work. It comes with Steam and Lutris preinstalled. You can install additional software via flatpak.

Code written in Rust has been shown to have significantly fewer security vulnerabilities than code written in C. Distributions like Ubuntu ship a lot of security updates, so by switching to Rust-based utils, they can reduce their workload in the long run.

I’m impressed the box advertised Linux compatibility. Not common to see that on product packaging back then in the late 90s, so it was always nice when it did.

I use iTerm’s tmux integration all the time and would find it incredibly difficult to switch to another terminal emulator that doesn’t have it.

I think this is the first time they’ve offered an XP earring for sale outside of a preorder bonus!

It seems like a pretty good deal for new players who joined at the beginning of an expansion cycle and would otherwise have to wait 1-2 years for the next preorder earring.

It’s also one cent cheaper than a fantasia, includes a fantasia, and is account-wide, so for a new player who already went through their two free fantasias and is looking to buy another one, it’d be better to buy this instead.

Technology and cargo are now completely separate inventories, so any technology you had installed in your general inventory needs to be reinstalled in your technology inventory.

As a way of compensating for this nerf, they also added supercharged slots, which provide a buff to the technology installed in that slot. These are randomly laid out. Higher class equipment has more supercharged slots, but you may need to add slots to uncover all of the supercharged slots.
