Glad to know about both widescreen and Linux, those are both pretty important to me.

It’s not but I make do. You’d be surprised how well hobbies and lack of sleep can help with that! I appreciate the sentiment though.
Same here, it was a really nice surprise. I love how well so many old titles work on the penguin.

I feel that. Hobbies have definitely helped me through many rough times. Dark Souls and practicing piano have both gotten me through a lot. I’m lucky enough to have a kid on the way, she’ll be my first, but I am worried that I might go through a dark period and won’t have time to use my hobbies as much to help me out. Maybe raising a kid will take that place. I’ve heard it’s very rewarding.
I usually play older games (hence me being on here), and when I made the switch to Linux I was very happy to see almost all my games play flawlessly. Even newer games or somewhat newer games run great. I’m currently playing through the Talos Principle (2014 I think) and getting 350-400 fps. It’s certainly not the most demanding game but that’s impressive to me.

Man, I’d be terrified to have a kid honestly. I’ve had enough experience with taking care of people to know I REALLY don’t want to deal with that if I have a choice - I’m too much of a self-sacrificing idiot for that. Good luck though! My friends with kids are happy about their choices so I hope you’ll end up the same way.
My first experience with Linux made me swear I’ll never going to touch it again, funnily enough. Now here I am, running it as a main OS on everything I can and having a great time with both games and any kind of personal projects I can come up with. Heck, the fact that some games run better than on Windows is still kinda crazy to me at times even though I understand why. It’s amazing how much things progressed.

I am indeed terrified to have a kid. Excited but terrified. I feel like I can’t even take care of myself and now I’m supposed to be responsible for a whole other person in a matter of weeks? Wild.
I only switched to Linux recently. I started with mint, then quickly switched to Bazzite after hearing it’s good for gaming, but I found out I don’t like rpm-ostree so I’ll probably be switching to another deb/ubuntu based distro again soon. Either that or go full masochist and do arch. Probably a bad idea though. I’ll probably either go back to mint again or try kubuntu (I really don’t like GNOME). Which distro do you run on your main gaming machine?
