It looks like the controllers attach to the screen magnetically, which may interfere with the sensors of Hall Effect sticks

Do you also find that speech/video is only bearable at 1.25x-1.5x speed?
Lol sometimes I go to switch a video to 2x speed only to find that the video was already, in fact, at 2x speed and my ADD gremlin brain truly desires 4x speed. Some people just talk too slow to pad out video length I think

Little bit of a late bloomer, but at least Luke gets his shit together at 23 and becomes the strongest Jedi

The newest 'old' laptop?
I have a framework laptop which is built around repairability, and for I/O they have swappable ports where you can choose whatever I/O you want (I have 2 usb-c ports, an HDMI, and 1 usb-a, which is all I ever use at once anyway). The 13 inch model I have only has 4 of these ports though, while the 16 inch has 6 I believe.

People with framework laptops on linux (nixos?) what is your experience with them?
My Framework 13 AMD works great on Zorin, as well as most distros I've played around with. Can't say anything for NixOS though. There is a script they have you run to install/auto update the OEM kernel. I have also noticed battery drain in sleep though.

What's a game you've played that you're surprised isn't really popular?
Me and my girlfriend are big fans of Doomsday Paradise, a rouge like dating sim

Distro recommendations and experiences
I've used UbuntuDDE and Manjaro, and they both ran fine, although that was back on my Intel mainboard. Now, on my AMD mainboard, I currently use ZorinOS and my roommate uses Kubuntu on his. I didn't need to switch, I just wanted to check out Zorin again. You used to have to run a script to install an OEM kernel but I think as of some recent updates that's no longer necessary. My only negative is the battery drains a lot in sleep mode, so it's better to shut down.

Maybe, I got the Pimax Portal a while back and due to their magnetic attachments Hall Effect sticks wouldn't work. I'm sure Nintendo would have a better time solving this issue than Pimax would though

Linux gaming for a non-technical person?
I'm using ChimeraOS after using Bazzite and running into crashes a lot. It's been about 2 months but no issues so far. I still search the web for stuff fairly often just because there's so much you can do, like set up Emudeck, modding games (I've been playing FF7 after setting up Seventh Heaven and it's been pretty fun), and I've also added a YouTube TV shortcut that runs in Firefox with uBlock for no ads. At this point I don't have any complaints about it and it really does feel like a console-like experience.

Why is the vision correction in VR headsets only an afterthought?
My Vive XR elite has diopter dials, but they're negative adjustments.

So you can set up other distributions to run Windows apps as well, Zorin just makes it a little easier. When you first try to run a Windows executable you'll be prompted to install the necessary components to run Windows apps. After everything is set up, a decent number of windows apps can be run straight from the file browser without having to open up bottles or something. Not everything will run though, and for games you may get better performance running through bottles or lutris.
