Increased battery drain for diminishing returns. From the distance and screen size, it wouldn’t be that noticeable, but the performance drops would be.

I would say the biggest advantage is speed, but as someone who has use Xbox controllers for years and years, I can type pretty damn fast with a controller.

Saw the edits and I would like to congratulate you on the start of your journey.

All of the stuff you mentioned works very well - OBS is native, (and if you miss the performance of ShadowPlay, somebody made a replacement!
qBittorrent is native (and IMO the best) and the vast majority of games work on Linux now!(ProtonDB is a great resource for seeing what works and what does, and it even has a profile feature where you can plug in your Steam account username so it can automatically show you what’s compatible!)
Mods are slightly finicky, but SteamTinkerLaunch will likely be able to solve all your problems, and r/linux_gaming has numerous discussions and workarounds, including this very recent and relevant one!

Have fun, and try not to get caught up in distrohopping!

Yeah. I’m hoping bcachefs ends up being good.

That’s weird. I’ve had zero issues with BTRFS and I have both compression and snapshots.

Have you looked at bcachefs, by the way?

sigh

Decent use case. You do use snapshots now, right?

flatpak bad lmao

INTERNET FUNNY NUMBER LET’S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Finally, a computer that can run unoptimized Minecraft and the desktop Discord client!

(not both at once, though)

Fedora should be the default distro we recommend to beginners. Everything just works despite being up-to-date unlike Ubuntu. Still waiting for DNF5, though.

Don’t we they already have sponsored apps and such?
