Isn’t modern gaming great? Can’t run your own servers, you’re stuck using some spoonfed services by an authoritarian corporation who also forces you to lease the use of your network connection even after you have paid for Internet access. The people who came up with these grifts are truly genius because plebs eat it up.
Install Ubuntu and be done. I’m able to print to my brother network printer with no special drivers. I installed a gnome tweaks package to do some minor tweaks in gnome, and I did rip out the Firefox snap thing to install Firefox from a package so I could use my kpxc plugin, but that’s the only major change I made. Hell, Dell (laptop) even provides firmware updates via the package manager so your bios gets updated properly. Best Linux desktop experience I’ve ever had over the past 5 years and I’ve been daily driving Ubuntu since 2004.
