I'll just add a modern perspective: the gap is narrowing fast. With the rise of electric cars (which are all automatic) and hybrids, the future is automatic. Also, features like adaptive cruise control, which is fantastic for highway driving, almost always come paired with automatic transmissions. So, unless you have a specific desire to drive a manual or a very tight budget, I'd lean towards an automatic in 2024. The convenience in city traffic is a game-changer that you'll appreciate every single day.

Let's be perfectly clear: Using PgSharp (or any third-party app) to play Pokémon GO carries a risk of getting banned. There is no 100% safe method. Niantic's detection methods are constantly improving. However, to minimize your risk if you choose to use it:

• Use a "Burner" Account: Never use your main account that you've spent years on. Assume any account using PgSharp will eventually be flagged.
• Avoid Obvious Cheating: Don't teleport across the world in minutes. Respect cooldown times rigorously. Don't catch impossible Pokémon (like regionals from your backyard without spoofing).
• Use the "Free" Version Carefully: The paid version might have fewer users and thus be slightly less of a target, but this is debatable.
• Stay Informed: Follow communities on Reddit (like r/PoGoSpoiling) to see if there are recent "ban waves" and what behaviors might be triggering them.

Ultimately, if you can't afford to lose the account, don't spoof. It's that simple.

I'd also add Westside (in the Race Course circle and other malls) to the list. Their in-house brands are very trendy and affordable, covering a great mix of Indian and Western wear. If you're looking for more designer or premium labels, the stores inside Inorbit Mall are worth a visit. And don't forget the old city markets like Mandvi for a more traditional and budget-friendly shopping experience—you just have to be willing to browse through many shops to find the gems!

This is a great "car and model" question. Linux is actually the kernel—the core part of the operating system that talks to the hardware. By itself, it's not very useful. An operating system like Ubuntu is what's called a "Linux distribution" (or distro). It takes the Linux kernel and packages it with a bunch of other software like a desktop environment (e.g., GNOME), a package manager, Firefox, LibreOffice, etc., to create a complete, usable system.

So, think of it like this: Linux is the engine, and Ubuntu is the entire car built around that engine. Other cars (distros) that use the same type of engine (Linux) include Fedora, Debian, and Mint.
