A bit confusing I agree. Just a little bit research.

Windows because it will cost Framework or whoever it is a lot to do it Valve style - coming out with your own distro, support it and yeah the proton issue. If it will run only Linux games, that market will be minuscule.

IMO nothing. As long as it can detect network I can install whatever tools I need.

Solution - learn using vi. You already did most of the work by learmjng vim.

We have that capability but dont really have the time or need for it. having said that, it only takes one rouge employee to mess it up for everyone else.

Agree with this. Any Dell Latitude can easily be as good as any Lenovo in terms of Linux support. Our company has moved away from Lenovo and only go with Dell’s.

I recommend getting the new server as a whole box, install everything and configure as needed. When everything works as you require, switch feeds. Higher cost but minimal downtime, low risk.

I will have to disagree but am a sysadmin by trade, so I work with Limux, Mac and Wimdows. I do run Linux and Steam on an HP Omen but was running Win 11 on it before with zero issues. I switched to Linix because all my other machines are Limux and its a bit of a hassle running compatability mode on Wimdows in order to read games saved on Linux. My son and I built his gaming rig and the hardest part for me is ordering the parts from different vendors. I think its all anout expectations. If you start hating Windows, you really wont find anything good with it and just see its faults.

Running Arch and Steam on an HP Omen with 3060 GPU and have no problems. I do play older games tho.
