Best Emu in the big 26?

I've tried a lot recently, and have been pretty disheartened. Mumu player was nice, until it started giving ai one piece ads both when loading and when the actual emu fully loads up. Switched to LD player, yes that was nice, until they started installing random apps. Removing them only worked temporarily, as they'd come back after restart. While I didn't give Bluestacks a long time, the ads built into the side and that game center thing was just too much.

As of now, I'm trying that MSI Bluestacks thing. It's not too bad so far. The overall feeling is cheap. The settings are nonexistant (not even a dark mode), it's locked to 60 fps, and it still suffers from the same thing all other emus have where they have those games showing at the bottom of the home screen.

Is there any decent emulator out there? Possibly one thats FOSS? I've tried trinity, but it leaves quite a lot to be desired.

Can you remove sponsored results from Bing?

I've been trying out some new browser recently because Firefox is getting worse and worse. I know Bing is not good. In fact its horrible. But I'm a broke boy and the rewards points are nice to cash in every once in a while. Now, with Firefox + Ublock, I do not see sponsored results on Bing. I installed Helium, ported over my bookmarks (but you can't import passwords??), and went to make a search. What appeared was a wall of sponsored links so big that I couldn't even view the real result without scrolling. Below are images of the search result when looking up "chatgpt"

New to IEMs, which Windows settings should I use? + Possible audio issues?

Recently, I picked up the Chu II's, and was wondering which Windows settings I need to use. Things like "Audio Enhancements," "Spacial Sound," "Format," etc. If there's any software I should download, that would be nice to know as well. One of my friends said that I should download an EQ software, but I'm not sure which one even if I should.

Also a side question, but should the quality actually be better than 120$ Astro a20 gen 2 headphones despite the price difference? My friends say that the Chu II's will 100% be noticeably better, but they kinda sound worse. I don't really know how to articulate it since I'm not in the audio space. It's like if audio were colors, and headphones/IEM's had color palettes, the Chu II's palette has way less colors than my old headphones. The picture just doesn't have the same detail as my old headphones. It's extremely noticeable in songs with heavy cymbal use. Everything kinda just sounds chaotic and messy. The words glittery and sparkly come to mind when I hear it. Kinda like the colors are mixing and messing each other up because there Isn't a way to tell them apart from the lack of color available? Is this normal? I wouldn't have expected a lot from spending $15, but everywhere I see online and what my friends say make me think this experience should be way better

EDIT: I may have been a bit dumb, and didn't realize exactly how to put them in at the time. I thought I was putting earbuds (and now IEMs) in right the whole time, until I tried pushing them into my ears a bit like you may do with headphones, and it suddenly sounded way clearer, like I had a better picture. Looked into it and that certainly is what you're meant to do lol. These sound great! Its crazy to me how I spent $100 on headphones when I was younger when $15 can get you something better! Still getting used to the occlusion effect though. Thanks for your guys' help, I'll be sure to try your suggestions

What's this black stuff on my Artisan Shidenkai V2?

A year or 2 back, I bought an Artisan Shidenkai V2. I didn't have the opportunity to use it until a few weeks ago. When I opened it up, everything looked fine. The pad felt great. But after a while, these black spots started showing up. Rubbing it with water only makes it worse. One thing to note is that I saw a similar grey spot when placing a soda can on it, but that spot has gone away completely. Anyone know how I can remove the black spots and clean the pad without them showing up? I can only find online people talking about this brush thing? (My camera kinda sucks so it doesn't show just how prominent they are. It's very noticeable in real life)

tried cleaning this one spot, but it wouldnt come out and just left more black spots

Acer SB220Q looks extremely green

Recently I got this monitor (left) to pair with my laptop (right). I've been fiddling with the settings both on the monitor and nvidia control panel, but I can't get it to look right. I can remove the green hue but then it brings up the other colors, and makes blacks look purple, and other colors just a bit off. Is there any way to fix this?

Random app running when clearing recycle bin?

I was cleaning up my downloads, but when I went to restore one of the items, it asks me to run it instead. Specifically, I wanted to restore my CachyOS ISO, but instead of putting it back to my downloads, it asked to mount it. Of course, thinking this was weird, I chose not to mount it, and empty the recycling bin instead. That was when I got a very weird popup (attached image). Why would pressing the button to empty the bin bring this up? Do note that deleting items individually worked. I can't find anything about this online. The issue seems to be pretty random, as the issue stopped in the middle of me writing this, but I'm concerned none the less. Any help would be appreciated.

Confused about the EFI partition

Hello, I am very new to Linux and want to dual boot CachyOS with Windows 11. I was trying to install CachyOS, and it said my EFI partition was too small. This leads me down the EFI rabbit hole. Increasing EFI size, moving the other partitions to give it space, 2 EFI setups, etc etc. But I can't really find a definitive answer/reason to pick one option over another.

What is the best way to go about this? I plan on deleting Windows and reinstalling it anyways (spring cleaning), so I wouldn't mind nuking the drive and making a new EFI partition(s) entirely. In this case, would it be best to simply make a big EFI partition and let them both share? Should I make an EFI partition on both of my SSDs and install them to their respective SSD? Maybe have 1 EFI + Windows on the first SSD, and install Cachy to SSD2 and use the EFI on SSD1? Does it matter if I reinstall Windows first or install Cachy then Windows? I really don't know the best way to go about this.

I already have CachyOS, Windows media creation tool, GParted, and Arch on a flash drive with Ventoy. Is there anything else I need?

Side question, whats the best way to go about fully cleaning Windows in case I have a virus somewhere on here? Would simply deleting all the partitions in GParted do the trick?

Thanks for any and all help, it really is appreciated.

Time taken to do Daily/Weekly/Monthly commitments?

I am kinda interested in getting into the game, but don't want to commit time to daily and weekly quests and such. What does the grind look like? Do you need to spend multiple minutes a day doing stuff? Does it get better/worse the more you progress your account? Games like FGO and Limbus have basically no dailies so I can just play them for story and events without getting swept up in the grind

Edit: Thanks for your guys' response, I will be trying the game!
