Most people just use the web browser anyways. It’s not hard to learn, it’s like getting a new phone. After a week it starts to feel natural.

What are you planning to do with the vm?
If your intention is to run anything significant like multiple instances of windows or Linux then the answer is no. Ideally you’d have at least 8GB of ram if you just want one VM.
You’ll need to confirm if virtualization is enabled in the bios.
I would suggest replacing the os with something lighter like xubuntu. xubuntu.org

Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead might be similar to what you’re hoping for.
They have both a graphical and text mode available. Plays similarly to dwarf fortresses adventure mode but with a SciFi apocalypse twist. Very customizable well worth a try in my humble opinion.

Looks like it was possible with android x86 but the project was discontinued.
I just found this it seems interesting.

Literally none without jank. Javascript and HTML5 are monsters and it just isn’t possible to get a universally flawless experience without them.
Your best bet is if you’re willing to give up a significant amount of fidelity (and images). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynx_(web_browser)

I’ve seen some gravity falls, really liked the characters.
Haven’t watched the other two, how are they?

- Comment on As adults, do you still watch kids’ cartoons, either old or new? 1 week ago:
Excluding anime (which I watch regularly) the newest cartoon I watched was Star vs. the Forces of Evil. I really enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone looking to get back into cartoons.
But the best cartoon I’ve ever watched was avatar the last airbender. Not many rise to that level of quality so its unfair to set the bar there.

- Comment on When I retire I can I get a decent home for about 200k in canada with about an acre to live on that is out in the boondocks, and grow some weed and vegetables? Other questions inside. 2 weeks ago:
You’ll likely be limited to Starlink Internet service or xplornet. I hear the performance is fine but high latency and affected by poor weather.

Only if you’re willing to live north of the 60th parallel.

- Comment on What is wrong with Pop OS? 3 weeks ago:
To preface this thought, I believe most distros are fine when matched with the users technical appetite and expectations. I also feel that focusing on the question “which distro?” first is a trap. I would suggest exploring the various window managers first and see what common distros offer it.
For example if you want to use cosmic but would would rather use something popular there is the Fedora COSMIC Spin. Or if you’re just looking for a solid alternative that feels like windows there’s Kubuntu LTS 26.04.
PopOS is essentially maintaining an fork of Ubuntu’s LTS branch with a rolling release kernel and recently bolting on an experimental (not to be read as unstable) window manager.
Personally I feel this makes it a poor choice for users that don’t want frequent updates and/or are uncomfortable with troubleshooting issues.
If you’re leaning on first party support for hardware that ships with popOS that would make it a reasonable candidate.
I don’t see much in the value PopOS provides over Ubuntu flavours like Kubuntu. Or the various spins of Fedora. I would expect the 26.04 release of Ubuntu to cover nearly all first time users and most hardware configurations better than popOS. (With the exception of their own hardware releases.)
Additionally I disagree with the way they maintain their kernel. I would suggest to users that benefit from these frequent updates or value being on the bleeding edge to consider a rolling release such as OpenSUSE TW. (Or Arch if you want to make your computer your hobby and have a strong appetite for technical challenges)
Ultimately it’s fine, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed using popOS if you like their window manager. There are less users using it so problems that arise may take longer to resolve or be detected by the community. Personally if you’re going to be using something based on Ubuntu id suggest just using that or one of their main “flavours”. Especially given your desire for something that just works.
Please forgive any mistakes, I didn’t intend to write this much and it’s late. Hopefully I did alright with exploring the topic without any significant bias or error. I welcome any feedback or corrections.

I was reading Dune in the bath and the book fell in. I thought it was hilarious as I just got done the part where they were desperate for water. I provided enough water for the entire story. 😭
- Comment on Distro for upgrading a 15 year old Mac? 1 month ago:
I agree with the Ubuntu based suggestions but if you’re ok waiting towards the end of this month 26.04 LTS is about to come out. That should provide a better long term experience.
If it needs to be now the older 24.04 LTS version is fine.

- Comment on How come Dish Network or other satelite services. Do not allow you to create a playlist? Like if I record 5 different episodes of Sunday Morning why cant I just put it on play and it goes thru each? 1 month ago:
Oh I wasn’t suggesting it as a fix. Just saying what you’re describing was kinda possible in the 90s. Like others mentioned your provider may have a DVR solution capable of it, but I’ve never seen one. Sorry if I caused any confusion.

It was possible to setup your VCR to record at specific times. The fancy ones could even change the channel for it.
