Support GOG. what they’re doing is great.

Support Steam. what they’re doing is great.

Maybe, try to keep it roughly even. Or buy based on your whim. They’re both great.

Benevolent dictators are great, but like pet goldfish, they eventually die, and the next fish might be an asshole you have to flush down the toilet.

This is intentionally word salad.

This is the big temptation with Linux. It’s open source, and there’s a lot of information out there, so maybe technically you can fix XYZ…

…but, realistically, it’s often better to just use supported hardware, or use a distro that supports your hardware.

sometimes you can get a “quick fix” from a github repo or some such, and it’ll just work. …but, it’s so easy for a quick fix to turn into a rabbit hole of many hours, or even many days.

…and if you’re doing that, you’ve got to be into it for the journey more than the destination.

Yeah. Steam is fucking solid.
