I’m in a similar boat as you and my current plan is to switch to PopOS. They are Ubuntu/Debian based so you will be familiar with it, and they also are a distro that is more focused on gaming, so you will have an easier time with video card drivers.

Which is a lot when you are at that level of competition.

Being tall is not ideal for short distance sprinting.

I think a John Wick game with a similar gameplay style as Rise Son of Rome would be killer.

They do sell skins. Also its on Gamepass, so Microsoft may see it as a game that attracts subscribers.

Any concerns you that you may attract attention to your network? I’m interested in doing the same thing you are.

I actually have an interest in doing this as well. One concern though. Wouldn’t standing up a Lemmy instance on you own network and federating potentially attract unwanted attention to your IP? Would it be better to host on a VPS instead?
