My first video game was a tic-tac-toe written in Ding basic (a specialized language for learning programming and creating games). That was 15 years ago.

I switched to Linux because of Linux gaming. Yes, I am completely serious!
Back in 2015 I had Lenovo laptop with only 2GB of RAM. Windows 7 consumed more than half of that and DotA 2 took over 2 minutes to load the map. The game was laggy. FPS was terrible even on low settings.
On another hand Ubuntu 14.04 consumed only ~350 MB of RAM. DotA on Linux loaded map in seconds. FPS was slightly better, but the game itself didn’t feel so laggy anymore.
Linux was (and still is) my only viable solution for gaming on low spec hardware.


Thank you for your advice. I do use an external hard drive for my data.


I use Raspberry Pi 4 with 16GB SD-card. I simply don’t have enough memory and CPU power for 15 separate database containers for every service which I want to use.
The cheapest SBC x86-64 I can find is LattePanda Delta. But it cost ~$200.


Did you use this instruction? If so, i think you forgot this step
wget -O- https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/bgstack15:/aftermozilla/Debian_Unstable/Release.key | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/home_bgstack15_aftermozilla.gpg


You can try Firejail
Open source. Because for me this term is the most general.
I use Raspberry Pi 4 with connected external HDD and installed Nextcloud
I have a
testfolder where I clone various git repisitories, compile programs from source or test some small scripts.
