That would be so fun I am buzzing with excitement. I am not talking facetiously either. I am out in the cold as I type this, happy and quivering.
I cannot wait to get home and try it out!

I have been rekindling my patronage to my county's libraries and archive.org.
Sure, these are DVDs, but they can be upscaled and are easily backed up.
I buy a crap load of books like I have a spending problem, but I get them used from bookstores and thriftstores. Libraries will always have something I can't find, with the added glory of browsing serendipity.
Sure, I like to pirate, but there is more treasure at your ports than you think.
Everything you typed out was a painful rediscovery on my part. I basically had to ignore my principles at every moment, but using Windows eventually became too gross, I had to get out.
For the money I spent experimenting with proprietary software, I could have donated to projects making the alternatives.
This is not a lesson I will need to learn again.
Yes. The cost is reasonable, and think it is worth it!
Right now I am using Tracktion Waveform, but I do not love it.
I am looking at Reaper, and I do like the workflow, but the way it loads plugins puts me off. Not horrible, I just need to do extra work to make it work.
Thank you! I will check those out.
I absolutely have old capbable computers I need to put to work.
My family pays for all the major services... but honestly I stopped watching. It is just waaaayyy to much stuff to care about.
I decided that I will only subscribe to things that are unique and have yearly subscriptions. So, that means Criterion Channel, Shudder, Dropout, and Nebula. As a student I get a discount for some of these, and I am paying Youtube Premium because as much Google sucks, YouTube is like UNESCO world heritage sight. Infinite value and priceless.
Your knowledge of Unix systems is incredibly powerful, and I highly respect that. You are in control of your system, which is the ultimate goal of personal computing. It is even more powerful that your mental models are reflected in your system. That is super cool, I hope to get their some day.
I am also very happy you enjoy trying out new technologies, and don't have the grumpy jadedness of just using what you always use.
For me I thoroughly enjoy learning new skills that unlocks the power of all my many computers, and put them to use. Computing should be fun and empowering, and too often people deprive themselves of fun.
I have never sold a console. I have frustratingly lost a few handhelds, which sucks.
I slightly regret not keeping a large CRT, but honestly those things are stupidly heavy and made of glass. I did score some small CRTs at flea markets awhile back, which is more than enough for the novelty.
I present cis male, and I am. I am comfortable in my expression and I love to wear all kinds of colors, and be experimental with my mannerisms.
I might be bi, but have yet to explore that part of me. I find all genders attractive, but I have only been with cis women.
Like @Denvil I support everyone!
Veganism is a moral philosophy that looks to reduce the suffering and exploitation of all organisms, not just a diet.
Anything can be used as distraction, veganism is not suddenly evil because some assholes adopted and advertise the label.
It is also a mischaracterisation that vegans put the lives of animals over people. It is the case that animals are routinely treated as objects and made to suffer just to satisfy peoples taste buds, or for entertainment, or to wear their corpses. Humans are animals and vegans do not tolerate their suffering or exploitation either.
It is obvious the distraction has worked on you. Veganism does not whitewash anything. People are not stupid. Not everyone is going to risk getting killed by speaking out against atrocities in their own back yard. If they cared they would have done so already.

So it turns out, I cannot use my NVIDIA card using distrobox. I guess it only works with AMD?
Anyways, gaming using Bazzite is a dead end for me. I still find Fedora Silverblue super fun to use, and I think I will just run Steam + Lutris using Flatpaks. I was wondering if distrobox would somehow allow better performance, but I don't understand the technology well enough to even make those presumption. I see that this image is used a lot on Steam Deck, which I also don't understand why (as opposed to having everything native).
Anyways, I can still game well on Silverblue. Baldur's Gate 3 runs okay. So, that means I am fine, hah!
The only gripe I have, which is just my stupidity, is that I have way of using Mozilla VPN. I tried to run it on an Ubuntu container, but I must be doing something wrong because it does not launch. Maybe I need to look into podman more closely, or maybe I am missing some graphical dependencies that is assumed to exist on a DE. I shall keep trying.
