Close to switching to a Linux distro full time. (beehaw.org)

With the advances in gaming on Linux in recent years, it is so tempting to switch full time. I would absolutely love to, but I am a Game Pass Ultimate subscriber and it is where I play a lot of my games on PC. I know you can use the cloud version, but I cannot stomach streaming games in their current state, so it is a no go. A large portion of my Steam library is compatible, but anytime I have done an install I end up giving in and going back to Windows for games.

Ah, well you're missing out. DOS games are still pretty fun and awesome. Having a blast paying Dangerous Dave right now, and will play Prince of Persia once I clock this.

I've still got quite the collection of classic DOS games that I may throw on the TV computer alongside classic console stuff ... played a lot of A-Train back in the day. Getting the tower sorted is just a far higher priority.
