Windows finally lost its last excuse to stay on my gaming PC (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’ve been gaming on Windows for as long as I can remember, with Windows XP being the first proper OS I got to try out. It’s only (relatively) recently that I made the switch to Linux, and even choosing to give up dual-booting along the way. Honestly, it’s not been a smooth journey, and I’ve had my fair share of troubles. That being said, there is no way I’m going back to Windows for gaming for the foreseeable future.

The Steam Deck's biggest problem has nothing to do with its aging hardware (opens the original)

Read excerpt

Not to mention, Proton wasn’t a thing back then, making its use as a gaming-focused operating system (compared to Windows) a lot less appealing.

I installed FreeBSD expecting a Linux alternative and discovered something completely different (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When it comes to UNIX-like operating systems, two come to mind: the better-known Linux and the often-overlooked Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD). BSD has a few “variants”, and FreeBSD is one of the more popular versions out there. By creating an account, you agree to our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.
