So I swapped over to Pop!_os a couple of weeks ago, having never used Linux in my life. Honestly I blame Lemmy, but I am good with it. It has been a fantastic change.

During this swap - I was trying to find some games to install. I guess this forced me to re-assess my digital collection and rediscover things.

I started playing slay the spire, control, guild wars 2, against the storm, path of exile, caves of qud, and just so many other things I forgot I had or moved on from.

Anyway - just an observation that Linux has somehow managed to rekindle the gamer in me after a stressful last year.

Anyway, thats all. Thanks to all of y'all for helping me troubleshoot everything.

Edit: ...more OF my games.

Similar story here. I flipped from Windows 10 to Elementary OS a few weeks back, and have opened Steam to play games way more than I ever have.

I think the change of scenery help rekindle my desire to play games.

@Null @citrusface is Linux better than windows? I have a Mac? How can I put Linux on it?

[-] Null@pawb.social 1 points 1 year ago

Not sure how to put it on a Mac, but I don't think any os is better than others. Windows, Linux, and MacOS to me is just like picking a flavor of ice cream. They all do the job, but what are you willing to tolerate?

Now I know that's over simplified but that's really how I look at it.
