    Always keyboard and mouse, never controller.

    But yeah I’ve looked into alternative setups but it ultimately always means additional hardware to run the windows games.

    My main machine is 95% gaming and 5% hobby work in CAD (also not on Linux) for 3dprinting.

    Any coding is already a Linux laptop thing.

      Fair enough. Most of my work means building out LXC’s and VMs for testing, and with 2 kids I don’t have much time/energy left for gaming, so my setup works for me.

      But it’s definitely not for everyone, I already have the pieces in place to make it work nicely. I actually had a windows workstation set up for work, but couldn’t deal with the windows nonsense anymore, which is why I went this route.

      It can work on a single machine with an iGPU, but kb/m gets a bit complex. And then there’s streaming over no machine or something, but that has its own drawbacks unfortunately.

      Whatever works for you, works for you and that’s what matters
