Fair enough it was a 2.5 nvme but 8tb m2 2280 disks have been on the market for literal years. You could get them in PCIe gen 3 …

This isn’t bleeding edge at all. Just put a 15tb drive in a machine the other day and they are a couple years old at this point.

I think a good comparison is Bell Labs and AT&T. A lot of good work was done by Bell Labs but it was mostly enabled by AT&Ts monopoly.

Is it just my hardware? It is not your hardware

The main issue from what I can tell is you are trying to play older windows games which can be pretty hit or miss.
Gaming on Linux has greatly improved over the last couple years (especially thanks to proton/steam deck) but if you are trying to run older games that were never designed to run to it or you want to play online games with aggressive anti-cheat it is still going to be a bit of a struggle.
I would recommend sticking to an Arch based distro like EndeavourOS (as it is similar to the SteamOS) or a Debain based distro and not swap around too much so you can get a feel for it without having a bunch of things change on you all the time like package names and the like.
All that said if your jam is older windows games and you have access to windows and are tired of messing with the OS and just want to play games just use windows, try linux another day.

Some games are trickier than others for sure. Are you using protondb as a reference?
Anno 1404 is a 15 year old game with aggressive DRM so I could tell right away that it would be one of the more tricky titles.

It is just a matter of incentives.
Remember Google is paid by advertising dollars. So the incentives are to feed you the maximum amount of ads with the minimum amount of content so that you don’t leave for something else.

Nice to have the option I suppose but when Instagram suspended my account for “breaking community guidelines” when I rarely posted to begin with I was done with them.
I’m 80 percent sure they did it just to get my phone number since that is step 1 in the begging process to get my account back.
