This dumb shit made me go Linux. And I love it so much I’d go Linux for my gaming system if it weren’t so fucking dependant on Windows for gaming. And no, I don’t want to fiddle with Proton layer and deal with bullshit, I just want to play games. But for everything else, I love Linux. Even fell in love with GNOME even though I hated it in the past and was the KDE guy.
The laptop that Windows deems too old running Ryzen 2500U with 8GB RAM and Crucial M.2 SSD does everything in a snap. It’s still a damn 4 core 8 threads CPU. For multimedia and browsing it’s an overkill, but killed off because bullshit corporate reasons. Fuck you Microsoft.

I was radicalized into Linux when my Less-than-a-year-old Chromebook told me I couldn’t update it. I was like “What do you mean you can’t update, I own you.” Maybe I’m old enough to remember when computers weren’t so fucking sassy. I now own four repurposed laptops, a NUC, and a desktop computer all running a flavor of Arch (and one with Debian, as a lil treat).
Thankfully gaming for me is easy; rogue-likes tend to be Linux optimized.

I mostly play online very old games that are hard to run on modern Windows as is and online ones that fon’t like Linux because of anti cheat.
