The trade-off of Linux vs. Windows means if your game doesn’t run on Linux I won’t buy it.

If you do install Linux (I highly recommend) just know that in Steam, if you buy a game and your library page says “This game is not supported” and the install button is disabled, you just need to right-click on the game (in the left panel), go to Properties -> Compatibility, and set it to Proton Experimental (you can also play around with specific versions of Proton). 99% of my games work flawlessly (n.b. I don’t play competitive online multiplayer any more, it’s too sweaty and time-consuming for me these days). In fact I can’t think of anything that didn’t work. But check ProtonDB real quick before buying (although you can always refund if it doesn’t run).

Fedora, Bazzite, and CachyOS are all pretty good distros for Nvidia. Still wish I’d gotten AMD though

Yes, there are 2TB cards by SanDisk also

There can never be a distro that ships without a terminal. I will burn it with the fire of a thousand suns. Even Windows has a terminal

Me too. I feel dirty

Snapper. But you also install Snapper on other distros.
