I switched to CachyOS on a 5700X3D/3060 combo 6 months ago and have had zero issues gaming. CachyOS has a custom fork of proton and it has worked like a dream. Lutris and Steam have been rock solid after some mild setup and my framerate has been as good as/better than it ever was on Windows. I’ve run a couple VMs to test and also had no problems there. Definitely check ProtonDB for the minor tweaks necessary for some games to run but most have just worked out of the box once setting steam to use compatibilty.

Surprisingly, different people have different tolerances for hot and cold. I’m perfectly comfortable at 60F. I’ve shovelled ice from a driveway in jeans and a short sleeve t-shirt more than once. 75F+ is borderline too warm. 85F+ and I avoid going outside as much as possible.

I try to avoid the beach as much as possible. I’ll take snowy mountains over the beach.

Naw, sweating just for standing outside ain’t it. I’d rather have the option to be cold outside and warmer with clothes if I choose.

The last time we had a really solid snow here, which was years ago, I went outside and made a pile of snow and laid on it for about an hour while it was actively snowing. I loved every second of it. Meanwhile all of my summer loving relatives stayed inside and complained for the 4 days that the snow lasted. They couldn’t even handle 4 days of weather they didn’t like. I live with it year round most years.

Naw, light jacket weather is superior to shorts weather all day, everyday

Naw, 75F+ is gross. 60F is the sweet spot.
