I had a quick view at this post : https://www.reddit.com/r/radeon/comments/157qa6c/rx_6600_or_rx_6700_xt_for_1080p/

It seems to me that 6700xt is much stronger than 6600. More expensive, too. Personally, I would pay some extra money 6700xt, but it depends on OP’s budget and game preference.

I’d suggest OP to consider several factors:

1. Is the game you’re playing CPU-intensive? aka Will your 3600X be the bottleneck if you have a powerful GPU?
2. Do you have a 4K/1440p monitor?

I would definitely pay for the game Concord, just for its brand.

If the sub title is Sony Flight Simulator

At least 90% of the memes and jokes are unrelated to the game, just no brain copy paste. That’s really annoying.

I like game-related memes, but they’re really hard to find now

How about creating an app password? It may let you by-pass the 2FA https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833?hl=en#

My solution is not ideal:

I created a directory, called ~/config_sync. I create sym links for config files, like ~/.bashtc to ~/config_sync/bashrc

However, I need to record the sym links I’ve created, and repeat this process on new machines

Valve has been using MoltenVK to run Dota2 on Mac1. I’m a bit worried that if Valve would cut the funding on MoltenVK2. Furthermore, CS:GO had been an example of a cross-platform example for multiple-player game. Valve’s games may still support Linux/SteamOS, but what if other developers only release their games as win-only in future?

I wonder why DOTA2 was not mentioned… It has a really decent Linux support for more than a decade

I think Fedora finds a good balance that

1. All components are OSS by default
2. It’s super easy to install RPMFusion packages when needed

Can you share the details of your procedure? Besides, which distro you’re using?

I think the biggest challenge is anti-cheat. I don’t know if there is any solution instead of waiting for native release (like Dota2 and CSGO). Also, although I don’t like Microsoft GamePass, lacking the support of it means we may need to pay extra to try various games.

I think Wine/Proton works really great nowadays (well I’ve repeated it at different places). As 2023-07-28, ProtonDB shows that in the top 1000 games, 75% are rated gold or better.

When it comes to distro, I think most popular ones are good enough if they meet to conditions (1) packages are not too out-dated (2) Not difficult to install some non-free dependencies (like rpmfusion)

I’m using Thunderbird for my outlook.office365.com email account which is managed by employer. It works perfect.

1. Set server name to outlook.office365.com and Authentication method to OAuth2
2. Thunderbird will give you a pop-up window, which let you fill in the username and password
3. My account requires DUO, and it worked smoothly too.

However, it’s also possible that your administrator has different server settings, denying the access of Thunderbird.

TLDR, I think it worth a try
