    Cave hermit here and I was delighted the first time I launched Quake 3 Arena on a linux distro. I’m wading deeper into the linux pool since Microsoft has lost their mind. Ads have no place in an operating system.

    Gaming has tied me to Windows for decades, but thanks to companies like Valve and System 76 the long awaited shift may continue accelerating.

    I’m glad to be here to see it.

      My System 76 laptop I bought a few years back is still alive and well. Ubuntu MATE or Manjaro I typically run now. Sometimes it makes me feel like a sellout running those distros. I know that’s a goofy thought. Is underdog syndome a thing? Ha.

      We used to have a lot idle PCs at work back in the day. I brought in a bunch of live CDs with some Linux distro that had a bunch of games on it (Quake, UT I think, and 4 or 5 others). We’d fire them up and have a lan party in the office, fragging each other for hours… all powered by Linux and leaving no trace. It was great.
