This is probably the best way to go. You won’t be able to beat the flexibility for the price.

I’d recommend Mint. Cinnamon is a great DE, and everything works out of the box. It’s a Debian-family distro, which means it can install DEB packages. Overall a great experience, and my personal favorite.
Mint isn’t well done, it’s full on congratulations

It’s just called “Driver Manager” in Mint, I’m guessing it’s specific to the distro. I’ve tried a few different ones, and it’s by far the easiest to switch compared to any other. I think it can theoretically be installed on any Ubuntu-based distro, but I don’t know of anything for EndeavorOS.
Good to know! I haven’t had any AMD GPUs, but it was my understanding they’ve been well supported for a while.
Unfortunately, the open source Nvidia driver isn’t suitable for gaming yet. But some distros (Mint at least) provide an easy GUI to switch to proprietary drivers. Very easy tinkering, as these things go.
AMD is very well supported in Linux, especially on older hardware. If you use something beginner-friendly like Mint, you shouldn’t have to do anything special to get it working well.
I’ve done plenty of installs for older games. I found using Lutris was easier than trying to do it manually, but it’s not perfect (but it handles things like Proton, as another comment mentioned). It’ll let you install games from their windows installers, so whatever games you’ve aquired should install as usual.
I think you can use Steam (for Linux) to manage Proton and your non-steam installs, but I haven’t tried it.
Actually, something along the lines of Tales of Symphonia would be amazing. 2D fighting for the main gameplay element with an RPG-ish foundation and tons of great storytelling. I’d pre-order that.
Simmer down, Bobby
Regular height, but it was on the ISS.
So I’ve heard. I’m avoiding it for the same reason I avoid analog crack cocaine.
Mobile gaming is like dumpster diving–there are a handful of good ones among the utter trash.
One of the good ones I found is Exiled Kingdoms–it’s an homage to 90’s RPGs, and it’s good on mobile.

I usually move static assignments outside the DHCP range, but in general, most routers will avoid re-allocating it even if it’s within the DHCP range.
Yeah, does anyone else remember the menu bars that would show up and disappear depending on what you were doing? Those were awful–the ribbon method of context-specific tabs is better (IMO).
I already have to do this. My office wants everyone to use the MS authenticator app, won’t run on LineageOS. Even if it did, I wouldn’t install it, but still.
Ended up making them purchase a hardware security key for me instead.
I’m still holding out for the Rural Juror
Ah, but what about the frontend?
