I am with you. It's all a matter of convenience to me.

Steam, does a pretty good job of what it does. As does GOG.

Now- EA/UBI can suck a big fat one.... but, steam/gog are good so far.

Regarding media, I am with you 100%. It's strictly a matter of convenience. Back in the 20-teens, I didn't even have a plex server running, as netflix was able to handle the majority of my media needs.

When, every fucking network created their own streaming service, and partitioned all of the media behind their own subscriptions, I said fuck that. The collection of linux ISOs keeps growing now.

When it is easier for me to use plex to streaming my Linux ISOs, rather then to use a paid service- THAT is the problem. And, that is why they can get my middle finger.

All storefronts have tons of them, more games then you'll have the time to play in your lifetime. Heck, Epic's freebies that have DRM are the exception, that's at least one DRM free game a week right there and let me tell you bud, as you grow older you don't have the time to finish a game a week!

When I'm on Linux (most of the time), I'm using Libre Office, but sometimes I have to open some word document in Microsoft Office, because Libre Office don't open it correctly.

You cannot even pay $400 Adobe anymore. Now it's only on subscription
