I have 1gig internet and it works great in every situation except for streaming games. I may give it another go and see if I feel any differently (may work better on a wired connection?)

I tried to install Linux on an old Chromebook that I have, but the device is so slow that it isn't worth spending a lot of time on lol

Thank you! I will poke around and explore this.

Thank you. I have some experience with using virtual machines, but only for running old DOS/Windows 95-era software lol

I actually used Pop as my daily driver for a while. It is probably what I would go back to Linux full time.

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.

I've been focusing most of my game time on Persona 5 Royal. It is really great. Over the weekend I played the Quarry with my family and wrapped up Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart.
