You could acquire a pretty cheap PC for Linux it runs on a potato. Try an electrical scrap heap nearby that you can fossick from or a friend with an old, unused system in storage (even a cheap $20 retro PC from your local marketplace?) to acquire an old retro system. You might not even need a new screen depending what connections your existing screens/TV has and if you could use a cheap adapter and cable from the thrift store.

Linux runs on basically any retro PC and laptop excluding some annoying wifi chips that need planning before the install if you don't have ethernet. Some really old tech may also require specific distributions that still offer support too.

Machines with a 32bit CPU you will want to confirm beforehand if your chosen distribution still offers a supported 32bit install image and retro PC's with obscure expansion cards that perhaps were never supported. This is likely moving into vintage collectors territory though and you would have to be pretty lucky now to find a machine like that super cheap and working.

I've been using archinstall it's actually pretty good now.

Just don't buy Disco Elesium, the thieves that stole it don't deserve that.

I remember enjoying Prey on release but never finishing it and being distracted by Q3A

At the thrift store today I picked up an original disk copy of Prey (2006) and the thief trilogy.

Nano here, maybe only because it's too easy to type in console for me..

Wait, is Senua that bad? I was looking forward to playing that one.
