This has actually lit a fire under me. I built a PC maybe 10 years ago and put windows on it out of laziness. It’s been fine at what I need but it’s age does show. I’ve been hemming and hawing about what to do next but I’m lazy and put it off.

Now with Windows 10 losing support it forces my hand to finally do something. I ended up ordering a desktop from System76 just today (won’t be my first experience with Pop). After I transition all my day to day stuff to that new PC I’m going to wipe my windows box and test other Linux distros with it. So I’m relieved and excited that Microsoft has made my decision for me!

The hard thing for me will be deciding what to do with my Microsoft Surface Go (first Gen I think). I see some guides online to switch those to Linux but it seems more challenging for my level of experience. It’ll probably be my next project.

Probably not what you are asking for, but the character creation process in the Traveller ttRPG is a great mini game. You basically take a person from 18 to however old you want, and their life path is dictated by your choices and random dice outcomes. It’s a lot of fun. You can end up with a retired admiral, a prisoner or criminal, psionic, etc. Going through this process with a table of friends let’s you build in rich fun connections along the way. The actual RPG then starts with mature, connected characters with a history, instead of 4 randos meeting in a tavern. In the classic Traveller you can even die in character creation. Current iterations removed the death component but you can be maimed from accidents in your career and start the game with a mountain of medical debt.
