I grew up with a CoCo 2 that I got for Christmas when I was 5. I remember the BASIC book it came with that had programs you could type in. Also, Demon Attack!
I switched my kids to Linux too. They have a multi-seat setup so now they can both use the PC at the same time. With the state of Linux gaming, we have yet to encounter a reason to boot back into Windows.
As a feature, the games that refuse to work under Linux tend to be the type that sell cosmetics or other things you probably don't want to deal with anyway. Or infuriating salty MOBA types.
I agree, I never found changing diapers that difficult or bad. I was also hardened by years of chronic insomnia so the sleep disruption wasn't a big deal, I took most of the night-time duties to let mom sleep.
The thing I remember being most annoyed about was cleaning all the bottles. That was really obnoxious.
Not to mention that it seems like everything has to go through like 10 redirects just to log in, and then you have to dismiss various pop-ups before you can just do whatever you went there to do. Some will say that the last part is just a UX problem, but in my opinion, sluggishness is the king of UX prooblems.
On the topic of Electron, I’m really torn. I can’t help but feel some gratitude for the fact a few of the work tools I need work on Linux (stuff like Slack, Teams, Zoom).
You’re not alone. Like many in this thread, I have kids and a house, etc. etc. Never needed anything like this. Maybe jotting down a note with pen and paper now and then, or at most, e-mail myself a reminder of something.
I have to wonder if some people use these systems to make themselves feel more important than they actually are.
