Speaking from experience, from a long time ago, and from the people/family I’ve installed it for on older machines: It’s different. That’s 90% of it.

The people that had little to no windows/PC experience actually took to Linux a lot easier not having to relearn/change habits from windows.

This is exactly how I’ve been doing it. Pihole + Wireguard. Set your pihole device as your DNS on everything ya want. It’s shocking how much crap tries phoning home. Especially smart TV’s and streaming sticks(Roku ex).

OP memes, but this unironically would slap.

Skyrim with proton GE will work just fine. Modding will be trickier. Vortex can be setup, with lutris. But I’ve ran into issues when it comes to external programs like resaver, loot, nemesis/fnis.

You could slap in a cheap second drive and see what happens. Compared to 10 years ago, it’s so much better.

Cyberpunk, Baldurs Gate 3, Sims 4, Minecraft (not a shocker, just need Java for modded), it’s been great.

As an almost 40yr old now father, this is such a hard choice. Except Jesus. I’ll never get to see that magic of the face of my child (4yr) the first time we would walk in. Or, the magic of my own face every time I went into a RadioShack. Blockbuster was just a cool place overall.

I’ve been getting the g power series for a while now. Battery life is important to me in my field of work. And for ~$200 it’s hard to beat. No, it doesn’t have a great display, or even true 5g. No OLED or high refresh rate. It does have a 5000ma battery that can last two or three days of use. Head phone jack, SD card slot. Features somehow missing from premium offerings?
