if i hypothetically had A Patreon and the main goals were to

• maintain touchHLE
• produce a “Linux distro” for creatives and power users that is user-friendly, and only runs Windows software
• possibly develop an end-to-end-encrypted replacement for Twitter alt accounts

[poll]

the fourth goal would be to give me the breathing room to actually have a life sometimes and also make creative works. and that goal is enabled by letting me do the first three things instead of a normal job

i do worry the linux distro concept might be alienating to uh, linux users, but the whole point is it's not targeted at people who find that an enjoyable environment already

‪it feels rather urgent because windows 10 goes EOL in less than a year‬

@hikari so I sorta doubt the practically of getting the things you want to wide usability within a year, even if I think they would be technically neat

And I also wonder why people won't just upgrade to Windows 11 when the software they use makes them

@hikari a bit of me wonders whether some of the less necessary (and hence easier to hack around) requirements will get dropped close to the date. It would be weird but it wouldn’t be too surprising tbh

But really you’ve gotta consider that your target market becomes people

• On older hardware (and consider that hardware that shipped with 11 will enter the recycling channel soon)
• Who are nerdy enough to install a new OS
• But are uninterested in running Linux

@erincandescent @hikari I'd be willing to use it as a lightweight gaming solution to normal distros, which can get quite heavy sometimes. Not many games actually require that extra amount of resources on my machine, but it'd be nice for something like VR, where stutters can lead to nausea.
