do you think one is worth it to dick around with?

i would love an r36-like cheap emubox in this formfactor

@arielmt for clarification i am not upset at you or your reply specifically i just really think this entire ecosystem needs a fucking sobering look at itself

windows is so much better than Linux if only because i don't feel patronised every time i turn my computer on
