As you probably already know, all of my BBS/FTN/server related stuff is all on Linux. My Windows machine is only for gaming and kind of a main family PC that my wife and daughter only really use to update resumes, add money to school lunch, or access other school related things. So in all reality, it's mine. ;)

I'm still keeping an eye on Linux gaming. It may very well already be where I need it with Steam's Proton stuff, but I'm still waiting it out a bit. If MS ever decides to charge me a single penny for anything, I'm making the switch 100%. I have the Win10/11 licenses, I don't mind using them.. for now.

Regards,
Accession

.... Take my advice, I don't use it anyway.
