I need to buy a new m.2 and make it a dedicated Linux OS drive. You got tips? I've been meaning to switch over to Linux as my primary OS since 11 is just spyware.

I don't even have many tips because Bazzite (and I hear ChimeraOS) is really seamless. Everything pretty much works exactly as it does on a Steam Deck, except with whatever PC hardware you happen to have. I'd say it's a no-go if you spend a ton of time on games that don't support anti-cheat in Linux
