Or do you keep a few Windows/Mac PCs lying around?

You know, just in case you need to run an app/game that only works perfectly on Windows/Mac and WINE/Proton wouldn’t run it?

Been thinking of Linuxifying my Laptop eversince I enjoyed Linux after defecting to it (from Windows) in my main PC (a Desktop).

    (XP on an old Atom-powered Acer Aspire netbook, 98 on an old Thinkpad)

    Aren’t those operating systems “dead”? I don’t think any new software would work on operating systems that old. Have you thought of switching to a more lightweight Linux Distro (Linux Lite, or basically any distro that has XFCE/LXQT as its Desktop Environment)?

    All that aside, everything else is Linux, mainly Arch-based

    I too use an arch-based distro btw.

      I mainly use them for retro gaming, and WineGL performance on them (way too old for Vulkan and DXVK) is abysmal at best.
