Damm, for that price you can buy a ds, 3ds, Wii u and a switch (V1) and have money to spare.

For getting a idea of how your games run check out protondb.com you can add your steam library to easily check your library.

For epic, gog and Amazon prime gaming you got heroic (https://heroicgameslauncher.com/) it also uses proton to play windows games.

GPU drivers are fine. AMD just works for gaming and Nvidia (depending on distro you need to install the drivers, search how to install them and dont install them from the Nvidia website) works fine if you just have a simple setup. The Nvidia drivers are improving alot by the way.

Random mouse, keyboard and other stuff is a hot or miss. Most of the time basic stuff simply works, but maybe there are no drivers/programma to set rgb or macros. (P.s. Try open rgb for rgb stuff)

You can always try with a dual boot. If you not used to Linux and like gaming maybe something like pop os

I'm in the same boat as you and never found anything for Samsung tizen os. Smarttube is android based only and anything streamed to a Chromecast still has ads.

Edit: okay I thought let's search one's more. And there is tizentube did not try it yet but seems promising

Oh yeah good idea!

Edit a file, writing a quick shell script or whatever in the terminal. Nano is great. I don't see any use in learning vim or emacs. If I need something more I'm going use a gui editor anyway.

Don't get triggered anyone it's just my preference

Nice harvest!

I use a quest 1 on Linux.(According to the alvr the quest 3 is also fully supported) Played about the last half of half life on Linux.

However some VR games just don't run well under proton I still have windows installed for that. Even if i didn't boot into windows for a half year now.

Also first recommend installing Linux in dual boot with windows if you don't know if al your programs/games work. Nowadays most stuff works but you can always keep windows for just in case.

I use ardour as DAW, but only for recording on Linux. It's also available for macOS and windows. So you can check if it fits your work flow.

I mostly only use Linux, but sometimes you just need a program with out support. In my case it's sometimes qlab, Linux show player is great(and I have used it for many shows). But it's not feature compatibel with qlab

Even if something like proxmox or a Debian install with docker is more customizable. It's a steep learning curve.

But isn't something like truenas scale a option? I run Emby(as my media Server) and the arr's on it. All the apps are already in the "software store" including plex. And setup of the arr's is just the same as normal. All installs are basically automatic.

I easy passthrough my intel gpu in the config page on the webportaal, but don't how easy it is for Nvidia or amd. Especially with Nvidia due to drivers. But maybe someone here knows?

I did sow some marigolds and tagetes inbetween plants. The tomatoes will be planted together with Basil.

I planned to make 1 pallet bed for only flowers to attract pollinators. But don't know yet when I will have the time and energy.

2025 is going be the year of cheap hardware. A lot of people will just buy new computers/laptop's.

I'm helping some people already with setting up Linux. But most average users will not set up Linux. It's just to scary.

I already mentioned pretendo in a comment. But for anyone how wants to play super Mario maker on there Wii u after the shutdown. You can switch networks (you of course need to (soft)mod your Wii u).

In super Mario maker uploading, playing uploaded levels, death point, world record and staring them works. There is still a lot missing. But you can still play.

Some games and features are behind a payed beta(which I hate). But all super Mario maker stuff is free.

Seeing wara wara plaza alive on my Wii u is amazing with random Mii's and post from miiverse.
