It really is a little absurd that โ€œIโ€™m considering switching to Linux on my laptop for better availability of gamesโ€ is a real thought in my head. Valve have made strange things happen
@misty as my music gear has gotten older, I'm finding more and more doing audio work in Linux is better than Windows, because Windows broke drivers and Linux never has. So, Linux supports a LOT more hardware, if you consider old stuff. (This is true of old GPUs, USB devices, printers, scanners, etc. as well. But, audio is just where I actually care whether some cool old thing I have still works or not.)
@swelljoe @misty Yep. I tend to keep peripherals for a loooong time. Under Linux they keep on working. Under Windows, you have to hope you can find a driver when the next Windows version is forced on you.
