I remember wanting to use Linux at that time. I thought it was so interesting, but my technical expertise just wasn’t there. None of the games I liked playing would run on Linux, and I wasn’t ready to let go of the pans of glass inside a frame that my PC was still running at the time. I’d play around with it in virtual machines and on live USB devices, but that was it. I was always thrilled when I could get an old computer for free that was powerful enough to run a modern Linux distribution.
Well, fast forward to 2020, and I discovered that Linux gaming had quietly made leaps and bounds, and so I thought I’d just install it on my PC exclusively and see how it worked out. Well, it stuck, and I’m never going back.
