Turns out the reply in my thread telling me the best way to combat not caring about Linux is to care about Linux was absolutely correct.

I picked up a laptop, installed Linux Mint Cinnamon, and I’m already obsessed. I haven’t had this much fun with a PC in a long time and it’s just a cheapo Dell Inspiron 3520.

    Playing games designed and compiled for one OS on a totally different one without a huge performance hit like what you see in console emulation is still voodoo to me. Guess I’m just old

      I played dos games on Windows 95 almost 30 years ago, I’m not sure what being old has to do with it.

        … Windows 95 was built on top of DOS. That’s not emulation or a reimplementation of a kernel API like Wine. It’s just dropping out of the GUI to play CLI games
