My old laptop is doing great work as a fedora linux workstation and emulation platform for me on vacation.

That’s the wrong way to beach vacation!

Exactly, they need to be on the beach playing pikmin not in the hotel room. [/s]

I’m using Pikmin 2 as my rainy weather or too hot right now activity. ☺️

Check out some of the Pikmin 2 romhacks

Pikmin 251 and Multiplayer edition are two of the standouts

I loved Pikmin 1, is Pikmin 2 as good as the first one?

@orbisonitrum It’s… different. There is a lot more content, but there is no 30-day limit so you don’t feel pressured to get a bare minimum of 1 item every day. This makes for a more relaxed game and I get why some people like it, but for me it just takes away too much motivation to actually do anything in-game.

I love both games, but personally Pikmin 2 is my favorite. I really like the treasure hunting mechanics they added and the dungeons.

Oh hey, I have that exact laptop but lost the charger? How does it run? My old laptop broke and I need a new one.

It runs pretty well! Linux certainly helps a little by being lighter overall than Windows, but everything works great on Fedora. I haven’t had any issues. Dolphin runs well too.
