PS4 was when I switched to PC for a majority of my games except exclusives. I refused to pay for PS+ to play online, since I enjoyed my free online on the PS3 the past Gen.

Picked up a long hdmi cable back then so I could enjoy the couch gaming experience when I felt like it. So that stopped being a selling point for consoles for my use case.

When you're ready, I started using Bazzite for an htpc, and it's phenomenal. A PC console, like I've always wanted

I want to swap my alienware aurora to linux but I'm struggling to find a distro that I know will be compatible with my hardware. Is there a list for bazzite driver support? I'm sure all my hardware will work in most linux distros geared toward gaming but it'd be nice to have some assurance beforehand.

Easiest way would be to either dual boot with a test partition, or if you have a spare SSD, just replace the current SSD with the spare and install Linux on that.

Using an old spare as a test is a good idea.

And to think, my wife mocks my hoard of old parts, cables, adapters, etc. Who's laughing now? It matters not that it grows at an inverse rate at which it is depleted...I did say hoard, did I not?

Yeah...ok, so try it with a spare. Sounds good.
