Literally same. Changed my daily driver from windows a year or so ago and its been night and day. Having to be intentional about acquiring games and getting them running with proton/lutris (not too much work these days thanks to Valve and GloriousEggroll) made me less of a collector and much more focused on what I want to play. Which means I play a lot more. Also this year has had some phenominal titles for indie and AAA.

I’m lucky to have a high paying job and a wonderful community around me where most of my needs are met, so my cost of living is low even with two children.

Ive been working on early retirement wince the day I started my career and Im a little over halfway there :) If I could double even one of my accounts I’d be set.

I’d retire.
