Honestly, Steam seemed far fetched when I asked. I only know it works on some Linux machines because Steam Decks exist. :p
I figure the SSD installation is more doable on one of these as its designed to be opened, as opposed to the 20 screws and puzzle design of my MSI.
I figure most of my home computer time is mooching around on the internet. I do game on it, but with its aging 1060, that's becoming a more limited prospect. Further, with my PS5, I'll probably shift back to just a sturdy laptop rather than a medium range gaming rig fo mry next windows pc.
I do want to get a Linux machine eventually to see if I can get the hang of it before I have to upgrade. I read in an FTC case against Microsoft, (antitrust via ActivisionBlizzar I believe,) they were forced to unveil long range plans of turning Windows into a cloud-based subscription service.
Fuck.
That.
But yeah. Under your recommendation, if I go that route I'll likely try a cheap X86 instead.
I do own a PineTime and enjoy the thing. Still looking for a watchband that is thin enough for it though. I tried two from Amazon and had to send both back. They're the right width, but too thick.
Anyway. Thanks.
If anyone else has any advice, please still post.
