I got half life for free when steam did the 25 year anniversary promotion for it. So you can actually get free games if you wait long enough lol.
I also got little nightmares for free as well, but I don’t remember the occasion.
Yeah I know. Still have to pay for license though unless you like having the activate windows watermark in the corner.
I switched to Linux a few months ago after building a new computer as I didn’t feel like paying over $100 for an OS that has ads in the start menu and spammy popups.
Almost all of my games work fine and don’t have any issues with lag. The exception is GTA V which doesn’t work at all and Sims 4 which works fine but EA’s launcher has given me a few issues.
You shouldn’t have any issues with document editing or web browsing. In my experience printing actually works better on Linux than it did for me on Windows.
If you want you could dual boot or keep an old windows system around to play games that aren’t working on Linux, but in my experience, most games, especially indie games, work just fine on Linux.
They finally have multiline app names in beta for the pixel… Idk why it’s taking them so long. My old crusty motorola displays long names just fine; its crazy that it took until Android 15 just to get a beta of that.
