My favorite system message is GRUB’s “bailing out, you’re on your own. Good luck”

That’s because Elon Musk invented the the X11 windowing system and Richard Stallman stole it from him, clearly.

I have a lower-mid tier (Ryzen7 2700 or 2700x, I don’t exactly remember right now, Nvidia GTX 1650, 16gigs of RAM,) and I can game just fine at 1080p. Granted I’m not exactly worried about 4K or 666 FPS or whatever the hardcore gamers are into these days, but most games work well with proton and steam. Some even run better through proton than they do in Windows natively.

I only separate out /home, /boot, and I usually have a separate /steam partition because I have a separate terabyte drive just for games.

The original Deus Ex. The storyline, the way the game world reacted to your actions and made it feel like your actions were relevant to the world around you instead of just being a static place where stuff happened to you…
