Steam isn’t a monopoly.

The PC is an open platform, you can use any game store or launcher you want - unlike the iPhone, Android (without sideloading), PlayStation, switch, or Xbox.

And costs a yearly subscription, also random features get removed every month.

Never in my entire life have I wanted to paste with formatting into a word doc, and you always have to click the stupid little clipboard icon after you paste to undo it.

Pretty much any wireless AC AP from the last 10 years can hit those speeds with no headache, no keys, and no Windows.

An AP is just a WiFi point, you can use pretty much any AP with your pfsense router.

That’s what most of us do, using this windows VM just for WiFi is only going to cause you a headache in the future.

Maybe a stupid question, but isn’t it just easier to get a secondhand AP on eBay or something than deal with this windows WiFi BS?

You ask about future proofing but Windows 10 is EoL in 8 months.

Use Envision and an AMD gpu, works great.

Don’t use SteamVR, it’s trash on Linux - Valve for all their Proton work has ignored the Linux build of SteamVR for years.

I’m not the OP, report the post if you feel it’s in violation…

Nobody knows how to work around Microsoft BS better than Linux users.

CPU is pretty much irrelevant to GPU choice.

Personally I wouldn’t buy any recent intel CPU with the dishonesty and major flaws in their products as of late, but that’s up to you to decide - AMD’s most recent CPUs haven’t been amazing either, but don’t have hardware flaws at least.
