If you like reading books, comics, etc, maybe Librera Reader?
Dunno how it is on Google Play, but it’s available FOSS and DRM free outside of it:

If needed, I can speak 🇧🇷/🇺🇸/🇪🇸, and a bit of 🇯🇵/🇳🇴

Same as the past 10 or so years, from what I can tell.
You also need to find instructions specific to your device on how to unlock the bootloader, and a TWRP specific to your device. From there, you do a clean flash through TWRP (erasing certain partitions and then installing the new ROM), and then, you should be good to go.
First, I’d suggest flashing a community system ROM. OEM systems are both very bloated, and stop being supported much earlier than community ones, so they’re not ideal unless you need to use it with some banking app or the sort. And if you don’t need Google’s services (de-Google, anyone?), I strongly recommend going for a vanilla system instead of a Gapps one.
Now, as stated in MargotRobbie’s comment, one good use is as a media player. If you can sideload stuff like VLC and Librera Reader, you should be covered.
You can also use it for some lighter gaming, if that’s your thing, as there’s plenty of emulators, wrappers and engine implementations for Android.
You can also use it for running servers, if you do this sort of stuff.
And if you like to test around with softwares, a spare Android device is pretty good to have.
Got a gaming laptop some months ago, and it is actually very powerful indeed. But it came with Win11 by default, only requiring the final setup. Now… How can a system lag a decent laptop so much.
Needless to say, it didn’t take much for me to decide to swap for good ol’ Mint Xfce, and even try out a few other Linux systems, and now, pretty much everything runs flawlessly, at most requiring to avoid using the ultra settings.
But indeed, Windows is bloat incarnated, and it only gets worse. So much so it even feels like Win10 on a VM can clog the whole system. Weird how that doesn’t happen with Win7, no matter how long I leave it open on a VM.
Dunno when/how a game is classified a classic, but since PS2 is from the 6th gen, guess I have some suggestions! =D
Ultimate Ninja 5 is pretty cool, I think. Don’t like the anime much, but gameplay loop still feels pretty good nowadays. Only released on PAL and NTSC-J regions, though.
Dragon Ball - Budokai Tenkaichi 2 is also pretty fun, coming from someone that also doesn’t like the series it comes from.
I guess Godzilla: Unleashed could count as fighting game too? If so, I recommend it too.
Yes. ( also just remembered there are some mix up in naming conventions across the fediverse… "<.< )
Just checked your instance, and this page seems like a good start:
https://lemm.ee/communities?listingType=All&page=1
Then you can filter pages around, subscribe to pages as they pick your interest, etc.
Then, if it’s anything like Lemmy World about sorting (can’t verify since I don’t have an account in your instance), you can visit https://lemm.ee/?dataType=Post&listingType=Subscribed&page=1&sort=New to check all your subscribed contents, and by newest (I recommend “newest” because I get the impression posts start repeating themselves after a while with other sorting features).
I’d suggest Linux Mint.
If I may suggest, start following federated pages too. Each social media has its niche, and now, with federation that allows direct communications, it’s the perfect opportunity to find a social media whose features you like (which you seem to have already gotten), and curate your contents so it’s perfect for you without depending solely on your chosen social media’s niche.
Besides, Windows can be very laggy even on supported hardware.
Looking for a more stable distro could be a good idea. Some distros are pretty much only PoC, or too niche to have a good support, or the beta channel of another, better supported distro.
Dunno how your instance fares regarding moderation, but looking at the modlog of my instance, Kbin Social, moderators seem to act only against disruptive behavior, like spam and gratuitous offenses:
https://kbin.social/modlog
And I haven’t seem people complaining elsewhere, like on Discord, about Kbin-related instances, unlike certain Lemmy-related instances, so it appears to be fine for now.
I don’t mind necro as long as it isn’t obvious spam, so don’t worry. =D
(besides, Reddit also had a lot of this, where pertinent replies would only appear a long time after the posts were made)
But thanks! The game looks pretty interesting, going by the promotional materials, and the store page also mentions it has both English and Japanese, so likely at least texts will be translated.
Brazil does, but while such a set laws exist, seeing those laws being enforced is a distant dream.
Xiaomi mobiles aren’t available in the US
Maybe the OP could import one? Or are there sanctions even for importing?
One problem is that you don’t know who’s actually hoarding your data and for what purpose.
Just checked. Initial release was in 2016. Maybe I confused it with a previous title from IF/CH.
Any with good hardware as long as you can switch to stable and community-made ROMs.
