For me it’s the reason I started playing games again. Have been using Linux forever, didn’t wanted a dual boot etc. So when games started to work on Linux I stared to buy and play more and more.

Although recently it has mostly been openRTC without steam.

What are you talking about, the headphone jack is the superior connector. It works on all devices, it doesn’t need power, you can use it on a walkman from the 80s if you want. It can also rotate and is a lot more durable than USBC.

Keep running it for a while and after some time 5 or 10 years you will struggle when people ask you about (basic) Windows stuff.
