Just built my first fully dedicated Linux machine. Still keeping my old Windows desktop around purely because I play League of Legends and they use a kernel level anticheat, so it won't run on VM.
Fun fact, ever since Riot made it mandatory to install their rootkit if you want to play their games, every time I try to eject a flash drive, it says it can't eject because it's in use - even if I just plugged it in. And that's super comforting.
It's not like Riot Games is fully owned by Tencent or anything...
