Linux Mint Gaming on an HP Slimline 270

I am enjoying playing around with Linux mint, testing Steam, and familiarizing myself with other various Linux programs. Linux is cool, and it's fun to learn a new Operating System. I am not going to upgrade to Windows 11. I refuse Microsoft's offer to add spyware to my PC in the form of an operating system, especially since they seem to think they own my PC hardware, and think they have the right to do anything they want on my PC they choose to do. I will ride Windows 10 into the sunset, and then jump to Linux in the future. Both gaming and Video editing have come a long way in Linux over the last few years, and I'm enjoying my time learning the ins and outs of Linux Mint. For a free OS, it's pretty awesome. Part of this too is, I' also waiting for Valve to Release the Steam OS when I might build a new PC for the Steam OS, or I might modify an old office PC for a Steam gaming machine.
