Yeah, PC games are like console cartridges. You plug them into a compatible slot and they work.

What? Look, things have gotten much better, but pc gaming, esp via proton is no where near as seamless as playing on console.

In fact, I went with console + linux laptop for ages simply because that combo excelled at their respective roles, were cheaper together than a gaming pc, and it 'just worked'.

I did eventually cave and build another gaming pc, but that was after I acknowledged that I could push out on the price / perf curve to something less 'optimal' (and it let me play with local LLMs)
