Title: Out-of-Commission Gaming Rig, and Decisions...
Date: March 26, 2025

  So, it finally happened. Windows 10 decided to go rampant and updated itself
into fully not working. It boots, tries to revert failed updates, can't, then
reboots to do the same thing. There aren't any restore points because it
deleted them all, and I can't even get into safe mode. So, my gaming rig is
currently sitting the the closet collecting dust, while my 2009 20" iMac is on
my desk in its place, happily acting as a media PC for me to watch videos from
when I need something other than my MacBook Pro.

  Part of me still wants to use Linux, even with the absolute disasters I've
had to deal with from updates over the last couple of years. I'm pretty sure my
gaming rig would be better off on that front, but I'm still hesitant on it. I'm
tired of maintaining my electronics more than I use them, and yet, either of my
options for that machine would require maintaining it thanks to how my luck is
with updates...
