    Nvidia compatibility has come a long way on Linux, even in the last few years. I've used Pop!_OS daily for the past year with a 3080 Ti and haven't had any major issues. 4 years ago was a different story I had to switch back to Windows.

    It does get funky for my setup, since I have 3 monitors with all different refresh rates, one of them being 4k and needs scaling. Switching to Wayland lets me run each monitor at their max refresh rate, and get a solid 165 FPS in Overwatch 2.

    I gotta say, I find it a little amusing I'm willing to pay $10-$15/mo for a seedbox and not for X streaming platform, however, I think the experience is that much better. I can download whatever I want and stream it for that price, or I can pay the same amount and get a select amount of movies.

    Also, I go out of my way to not see ads with any service. I don't use twitch because of how they circumvent ad blockers.
