Nah, Bezos. Linux is getting better by the day.
That's the thing, with a free operating system you can do whatever the fuck you want. The best games coming out are indie developers and they can target hardware people have. We can wait them out.
It's really important not to discard functional hardware now, even by throwing it into recycling. It's more useful intact and may not be replaceable forever.
One thing that concerns me is the wear/tear limits on SSDs. Under normal replacement cycles it isn't such a concern, but it becomes an issue if you have to extend it out.
