    Counter offer: I use my very old PC for several more years and pray it doesn’t die before this stupid bubble pops.

        Well, the main upgrades needed are CPU and GPU for gaming, which is definitely subpar on recent games.

        Linux is definitely part of the plan though, but my impediment is laziness (same reason the PC upgrade was delayed).

      I bought some extra RAM about a year ago, not because I needed it but because it was cheap and I figured I might as well fill up the open slot.

      Damn, I got lucky!
