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.

This is a fair point. There are a few more things to factor in from a Mac standpoint, but once you figure out the fiddley things you need to do foe installation, I am fairly certain you can use a wide range of distros

Again. I am a total noob. This just comes from my googling and watching YouTube on a few things.
