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.

Literally same. Changed my daily driver from windows a year or so ago and its been night and day. Having to be intentional about acquiring games and getting them running with proton/lutris (not too much work these days thanks to Valve and GloriousEggroll) made me less of a collector and much more focused on what I want to play. Which means I play a lot more. Also this year has had some phenominal titles for indie and AAA.
