While a agree with the whole first part of what you said, you lost complete credibility when listing the ''actual'' good games. Terraria and Minecraft are both child games, Torchlight is pretty bad side by side with Diablo and Titan Quest, Team Fortress 2 is becoming more than ever a ''look at my hat game'', Doom 2017 has a very poor game design (you could play without ever shooting a enemy just by keeping punching and refiling your energy, and each room is just a big hangar, no claustrophobic or dark surprising environment).
At least name really good games with atmosphere and good graphism: Bioshock, Pillars of Eternity, Specs Ops the Line, upcoming Descent Underground, Arma 3, Europa Universalis 4, Grand Theft Auto 5, Max Payne 3, Rome Total War, maybe also Resident Evil 7
I would recommand a used plasma 1080p screen. First, colors are much better than lcd, with the exception of very high end 4k hdr lcd. They also very cheap and last for a very long time. They have all the vintage ports as well than hdmi. I really love plasma produced by LG, because they are a good mix of quality and low price.
Drawback: consume more energy, so it's not possible to produce a 4k plasma.
Last election, Liberal Party played marxist with promising very leftist proposition like legalizing pot, big deficit, who is actually at least 5 times than promised. NPD with Thomas Mulcair was centric, they promised no deficit. And their still the real possibility that Justin Trudeau is the biological son of Fidel Castro.
This seems very promising, especially as a small media centre. I wonder however how it compares to cubieboard2 and other dual core arm processors based soc. Also, community support is important for that kind of device and it may take some time before documentation is good enough. But all cubox versions seems fair-priced.
Even Intel new Haswell Nuc is very similar to those board, albeit with much faster specs and slightly bigger case, but same 1.3 ghz and more and more integration inside cpu chip. Desktops computers may very soon turn into a battle between small soc and nuc, who both support Gnu/ Linux and Android, as windows seems a bit irrelevant now for that kind of device and to most people who prefer to use a phone or tablet. This is interesting to look upon too as it may be the sign of a second golden age of computing.
What if you call your distro Foo Gnu/Linux ?
I'm not sure you could trademark Gnu/Linux, as Gnu appelation is much older than Linux, even Gnu/Linux distros are older than Linus' own first distribution, based on Minix. If this appelation is trademark free, then I guess everybody who don't want to pay 200$ for this should just add the prefix gnu.
What do you use for graphics benchmark? I never found anything yet. Most people seems to use a game, in general Quake 3 or Tuxracer or even Doom3. Is there a benchmark software for GNU a little bit like bonnie is for hard drive?

At very least, they claim that Slashdot is the best web site. This is enough for counterbalancing PcGamer 'mag of the year, naming Ati best hardware corp. not giving Doom3 game of the year nod, and hell might freeze, Half-Life 2 game of the year nod!! We, as slashdot regular, all know that
1.Everything not running on *nix don't interest us at all
2.Ati has crappier driver than sis 630 or even trio 64
3.Owning and playing Half-Life 2 is against freedom.
4.Doom 3 is about the only game we've got this year, though Battle for Wesnoth could be a good runner up.
From my research in a printed Magazine, Login , In fact, first generations Arm could not be 32 bits: RiscOS in only 24 bits. The biggest they go is 24 bits, because the extra 8 bits are simply flags. So 3do is in fact 24 bits instead of 32 bits.
As for Video Games Museum, you could not believe anything they say, just too much errors: for them Dreamcast is 128 bits and Genesis is 64 colors instead of 512...

"1993
3DO Console Arrives
Panasonic releases the 32-bit 3DO console system to rave reviews. The system uses a custom 16-bit processor with 17 separate channels to and from system memory, taking maximum advantage of the CD-ROM format. The $700 price tag cools sales."
I agree with you with Console VS PC in 1995. But in 1990, console beated PC hands down. Snes/genesis graphism are much better than EGA graphism. PC did not even have good sound card back then: Genesis music beats Adlib/Roland/PcSpeaker. I remember that NHL hockey was much better on genesis than PC
Pc started to catch up circa 1993 with Doom and Mortal Kombat releases .
As for computer in general, Amiga had always had great gaming potentiel.
Sorry to deceive you, but the number of bit does not matter much in console. Look at this:
(formely Mattel) Intellivision : 16 bits
atari: 8 or 16 or 32 bits depending of the models.
Nes: 8 bits
Master System/Game Gear: 8 bits
Neo Geo: 16 bits
Snes: 16 bits
Turbo Grafix-16 : dual 8 bits
Genesis: 16 bits
CD-i: 16 bits
3DO: 16 bits
SegaCD/ JVC x'eye: 16 bits
Saturn: 32 bits
PSX: 32 bits
PS2: 32 bits
Saturn: 32 bits
X-box: 32 bits
Dreamcast: 32 bits
(Ultra) Nintendo 64: 64 bits
Jaguar: 16 bits (however, this one is contested because the processor contained a lot of 64 bits intructions, so it *could* be considered 64 bits depending your criterions.)
Judging strictly by the number of bits, N 64 should be the best console, wich is evidently false. Also, 1979 Intellivision should be on par with NeoGeo, two 16 bits systems. As for 128 bits generations, this is simply a myth, as they don't exist. The only thing 128 bits is the DSP for accessing a larger sum of ram than a mere 16 megs.
And for the best console ever, my choice is without any doubt NeoGeo. Sega-CD and Dreamcast would be my two runner-up. Special mention to Capcom CPS arcade machines.
Their top 10 seems based on graphism realism, where relatively non-violent games (Halo 2, HalfLife 2, GTA and especially America Army where you cannot kill anyone as when you kill someone they stay sitting down in indian) figure out.
Here is one based on violent situations/atmosphere/crade look and not simply the graphism:
1.Doom III
2.Postal II
3.Soldier of Fortune I
4.Bad Mojo
5.Mortal Kombat II (not "Combat")
6.Lethal Enforcer
7.Quake I Teneabrea
8.Night Trap
9.Sanitarium
10.Planescape Torment
