Right on man. Fuckin’ Buddhists. Probably don’t even use Linux.

Cool, now let’s see Boggle as an FPS.

I’m savvy enough where I can adult Lego a PC together but struggle when it comes to software and troubleshooting and really don’t have the time for that stuff.

Then Linux is not for you; it is nothing but troubleshooting.
If you have to use Windows, get the LTSC IOT edition. It’s official and it has none of the crap people complain about in 11 (copilot, onedrive, recall, etc.). I’ve had no problems gaming on it, either.

Might as well link to it:

You need to supply your own ROM of the correct version.
