I just love to see these posts of "f@$k Winblows". Welcome to cyber heaven.

Easy in terms of installing windows? No harder than a normal install in any situation. Easy in terms of usability? Can't even imagine ever trying. Have a hard enough time using my windows cloud r at work.

Normal technology situations created by normal human behavior. ๐Ÿ˜œ

If by "average" you mean someone with little to no technical background AND not willing to make too much of an effort, it's still super easy by getting something like a Synology or QNAP NAS.

RecordScreen.io works for me when I want to do that. It's supposed to record locally (I've tried and have seen no data leaving my computer, but maybe should try taking it offline while recording, see if it breaks).

Indeed. That's how I populated my NAS with 3 10TB drives and saved around 120 dollars total, and this was 4 years ago.

These are the ones I got: https://a.co/d/8x58jBY

The only extra thing was disabling the 3v pin, and that was it. Been running rock solid all this time.

Just make sure to research what disks are in the external housings you're planning on getting, as not all drives need to have pins removed/covered.

Unfortunately the fact is that some games are patched to run on Windows exclusively. For some, no amount of tinkering will give you a working game.

In my house there is 1 windows machine remaining, and it's for a software that my wife needs to use once per month for her business,anx she doesn't want to hear about a VM, but we all rock some distro as our daily drivers, thank God.

Oh, yeah, I did delete them (again, right after you) as soon as I saw that. Have been having this issue in voyager where it tells me it wasn't posted, so I try again and then it's duplicated. I did not check that one again, and I do apologize for being careless. I'll be more careful moving forward. Thank you.

Out of curiosity, why did a mod delete my comment? I don't recall saying anything out of place, unless mentioning that I pay for a service that actually works is forbidden.

I'm very particular to Fedora based distros, mainly because they sort of just work and keep at the cutting edge of the spectrum with little to no headaches.

If you want to go immutable, Bazzite is pretty solid for gaming, so is Kinoite.

But I can also recommend some Ubuntu/Debian based distros, as they are easy to maintain. PopOS and Linux mint are very good options as well. I would also suggest staying away from Ubuntu itself.

I've tried some arch based distros over the years, but end up dropping them because I find them unnecessarily convoluted to maintain and troubleshoot, but that's just me.
