Affordable Linux box under $99


Hi,


I want to start playing around with linux but I have a very low budget (I'm a student). I'm wondering if anyone is aware of a Black Friday deal on a linux box or anything cheap that doesn't have much processing power, but can do decent work. Any insight would be appreciated.


Best, u/decoy98

What are some cool Linux games suitable for a LAN party?


So I've actively been converting people to Linux lately (2.5 converts so far!) and I was hoping to stoke my friends' enthusiasm by hosting a little LAN party based around Linux gaming. However, when I think about games we could play I mainly come up with Windows native games that we would have to port (I'm still rather new to Linux gaming myself.) I would welcome all suggestions!


Edit: Wow, that was fast. Lot's of great suggestions, and the post hasn't been up three hours, so thanks a lot! (feel like I'm using way to many exclamation marks ITT, but I feel the need to express my enthusiasm somehow :D) I have to poll whether people are tending more towards FPS or strategy, but I love both, so as far as I'm concerned there will be two LANs. Keep the suggestions coming, if you can think of any more!

CD/DVD/Blu-Ray AutoRipper


I have been working on this project for a little over a week now, and i want to share it with everyone that would be interested.


Its a Zero-Touch Ripping program for all your CDs/DVDs and BluRays.


I have found this very useful for ripping all my BluRays to my plex server to save all the discs. I just like to collect them for some reason...


Check it out please, and let me know what you all think.
