First thing that came to my mind

This.

Having a subscription doesn't mean you have the right to pirate when the service goes down. You only own what you buy.

I'm a long-term Linux user living mostly on the terminal, knowing quite a lot about the operating system. And sometimes I enjoy tinkering to get a game running even more than playing it. But in the end for some games it just doesn't work. Of course it depends on the game and hardware and what not, but in the end if I can't play all my games on Linux I have to bite the bullet and check for alternatives. And for me this statement is hard as hell.

I've seen this exact situation so many times.

  1. Ask the community about gaming on Linux
  2. Get the response that it works (install Steam and play)
  3. Install Steam
  4. Game doesn't work
  5. Invest hours in troubleshooting
  6. Have the community explain why it doesn't work in your particular case
  7. After hours of fiddling get it working

I've been in this situation myself so many times. I like fiddling with my system but even I ended up dual-booting Windows just for gaming.

I started with an old office PC as my first server. Later I switched to a laptop which consumed way less energy and performed well. That worked for years until I got into Raspberry Pis and clusters and lately replaced 2 Pis with SFF PCs because of higher demand on CPU and RAM.

Use whatever works for your needs and expand when it doesn't fit anymore. But the most important thing: Have fun!
