With Linux and BSD I stopped gaming on AAA titles and I went full indie long ago.

Even "worse", now I an translating some English text adventures into Spanish.

And by playing them OFC.

Today I have more fun doing actual projects (programming, writting, playing with teleco stuff) than badly simulating then in video games.

With DOS/Windows you simulated a life on games. With Linux, you made it real. Seriously. Slackware it's still a "game changer. You don't play Cyberpunk 2077 if you want, you can make it real life. I do that with the PocketCHIP, Gopher and text gaming/roguelikes/MUDs up into a mountain at night. Incredible experience.

Or better, listening to the ISS with a WebSDR and decoding SSTV images with QSSTV. That's the ultimate cyberpunk experience.
