Just another pre-built linux gaming box. I can get a $5 dollar pc from a thrift shop and play play the entire VCS catalog.

Russia and anything Russian has been used as a political scapegoat by those unhappy with the presidential election results, and by those who wish to keep the military industrial complex well funded. Kaspersky just happens to fall into the political crosshairs.

Windows 10 AKA Windows 8.2. Winamp 3 was so bad they skipped 4 and went straight to 5. Windows 8 was so bad they skipped 9 and went to 10. Windows 10 is still Windows 8. Garbage.
