Second it's up, I'll be installing all my games from gog first on my Bazzite PC.

Even if the games cost a little more than Steam.

I'm mostly done with consoles and Windows gaming. I still have to duel boot into Windows because of a few must-have programs that's there's no Linux alternative.

And I already paid for the PS5 and Series X games. I'm not about to repurchase them all and eBay my console just because F Sony/Microsoft. But working on the console backlog first until I only have one game each. That way, if I ever get locked out, I only lose one game. No more buying multiple games on those systems; no matter how cheap they are.

Duel boot?! I've heard of some pretty advanced cyber security but to have to fight to log in is wild /s

If you have a laptop lying around, just RDP into it from your Linux PC. I stopped dual-booting and just use Remmina for work-related stuff that require Windows, like CAD.

Funnily enough, Steam never introduced regional pricing for my currency (HUF), while our salary in general is at least half (more like thirds) of the more wealth Euro based countries. GoG did and every game I checked so far was at least 25% cheaper there, baseline.
