I will disagree with you on gaming, though. I'm playing all the games I've wanted to play, with the exception of two: Teamfight Tactics and I went to check if I could try Highguard, but it too requires kernel level anti-cheat. So that's a nope for me. But if that's the worst I run into, I'm not that bent out of shape. I have plenty of games at my disposal, including older games without issue.
I may have to play around with some Linux gaming. I actually meant to include that in the post. I've heard that Linux gaming has come a long way since the last time I used it. That may be a project and post one day down the road when I'm a little bored and have some extra time on my hands.
I've seen some really cool media server projects. That's really cool and a really fun way to play around with linux. You can learn a lot playing around with those projects. I seen a lot of people were using RPI's for media servers back when I used to play around with my Raspberry Pi's. Funny that you mentioned that too, I just came across my RetroPi the other day doing some house cleaning. I've got that loaded with all the old vintage video games. I might have to hook that up again. Got me craving some Super Mario Brothers now! 🤓
