What I don’t understand, and maybe somebody can explain. If this is the case, why wouldn’t there be torrents of every paper whose authors would be genuinely delighted to share?

Not being skeptical here. I’m really curious.

Good call! I already did this… wasn’t sure if there was a better way other than installing steam on the vm and logging into my steam account to see which ones were installable. I suppose this doesn’t tell me how well they’ll play though does it… 🤔

A NAS is exactly what I’m considering doing with it. Good call!

I’m building a new PC because my current one is quite old. I won’t retire it though, and have yet to figure out what I’ll do with it (probably stick another Linux distro on it too 😆). I’m hoping to take advantage of having a brand new setup as an opportunity to be done with Windows completely.

Thanks for the distrochooser link. It was helpful and pointed me to Fedora 😀
