Introducing my computer
After using my dad's computer for many years, I finally bought my own machine in May 2023. The machine is valued at right about $3000 USD, and is very beefy compared to my older one! Refer to the table below for the specs.

My thoughts on Linux?
I love Linux - I really do. I've ran it multiple times in the past, but I never found it to be "sustainable" enough due to the lack of support for programs that I find necessary (especially certain video games). Using Linux just introduced more problems than it solved; at least that's how my experience was. Every time I felt excited about an upcoming game, I would be worried about its support for Linux systems. Sure, it allowed for tremendous amounts of customization like I've never seen before in any other operating system, but I kind of felt isolated from the rest of my friends when I couldn't join a gaming session at times. I am a big supporter of FOSS (free & open-source software), but Linux isn't quite there yet - at least for me. Linux is the kind of operating system I'd run on a separate drive, a laptop, or on a computer where I know I won't be gaming. It is fast and good for pretty much everything other than gaming at the moment. It's got better over the years, but it is not quite there yet.
