I appreciate the info, and willingness to discuss this. I think you've been able to identify my point of reluctance around all of this now; it feels like work. When I'm done with work, I don't want to do more work in order to get my games to play. Might explain why I bought a PS5 in May too.
Maybe I'll give this some investigation on my next holiday / day off. That way it'll feel only "kinda" like work.
That's a fair point, linux has gotten a lot better with stuff 'just working' but when it doesn't, it requires some research and tinkering.
I was figuring something out the other day and it dawned on me that the reason I've become so enamored with linux is that it's a hit of nostalgia from getting things working in the 90s. (Also I'm a nerd and I think the way computers work is fascinating lol)
