At this point, my Thelio from System76 has become an automatic part of my workflow. With my KVM switch, I can instantly switch from work/writing to gaming.

I can happily say that every game I have tried so far has worked smoothly on the Thelio. My latest beefy game was God of War, which worked directly after installing from Steam with a controller without special customizations or any tweaks, and my time with Helldivers 2 has steadily increased to become my second all-time favorite.

Meanwhile, I’m also realizing that my Mac is a superior place for writing, and I don’t have the desire I used to try and make Linux better for it. That position is filled with the apps I use (or must use) and good integration with Emacs. However, I’m probably going to run a virtual Windows environment soon on Linux and use some programs that I want to have in Linux with me (Photoshop, for example) and have a test environment for work.
