You absolutely can start with 4. The worst thing that can happen is that you love it and are slightly disappointed when you try the first 3 games after 4. It could be worse.

Do you need a DE? I use sway and a few kde apps (konsole, okular, gwenview, dolphin) + firefox and thunderbird, I wouldn’t call that a DE…

• Pikmin 3 Deluxe
• Pikmin 4
• Super Smash Bros Ultimate
• Monster Hunter Rise
• Splatoon 3

if you want i3 but on wayland, you could try sway. It is exactly that, you can even reuse most of your i3 config file.

When I used it, I mostly switched between the 9 apps in my favorites/dock with the Meta+digit shortcuts. I rarely used anything besides those 9, and then I just used alt tab. It worked really well, no complaining.

Today it’s mostly the same, but with a tiling window manager and the same numbers: 3 is thunderbird, 5 is file browser for instance. It’s muscle memory at this point, feels great.

I have kept most of my Nintendo systems, but I sold my GameCube and now I regret it.

Games are still playable on my Wii, but I would have modded the GC to load games from a sd card to make it more future proof, as the disk reading part is the most fragile.

I love debian because it’s always there for you.

Interesting. Kept it in my wallabag, if I ever grow tired of sway.

I’d build my own. More seriously, I’d use a mac, but would pester all day, like the few weeks I tried macOS at work before bringing my own computer.

Setting up my weird keyboard layout :

• on Linux, it’s either there during the install, or sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration on debian
• on MacOS, it’s endless messing around with some weird bundle file in some specific folder but it depends on MacOS versions and the file manager won’t let you know where you are exactly nor type a folder path

Setting up a keyboard shortcut to launch a terminal with Meta+Return:

• on Linux, it might vary depending on your wm or DE, but it’s always easy
• on MacOS, you have a weird app to script actions, but I never managed to make it happen

Using a tiling window manager:

• install i3wm
• forget about it.

Yes I’m waiting for the physical release, as I already have 3 in physical, and wanted to have all 4 in my drawer, for some weird reason.

I might try to finish Pikmin 3 before 1, 2 and 4 hit!

I was not expecting Pikmin 1 and 2 HD ports, but I’ll take them.

I’ll wait for the physical release to have all 4 and show them to my grand kids 25 years from now, for the release of Pikmin 5.

Porting windwaker and twilight princess from WiiU to Switch would have been easy. I wonder why they have not done it yet.

I dusted off the WiiU to play Windwaker HD again. I’m just killing time before Pikmin 4.
