Yeah, 3 years is quite a good forecast that is on the safe side. 
Oh okay, scary then. 
I’m favor of having as much public interaction as possible because it can help others rather than being 1:1 and me needing to repeat a point to other folks.
As of today, I can just reference one of my past messages to someone else. Let’s keep it this way. 
Oh it’s a Nintendo-specific thing with account + proprietary. So yes, it will work flawlessly if you’re into that walled garden etc. Hopefully it does work well given those drawbacks!
Oh yeah, that one is a dead project from 3 years ago. Haven’t touched it since really.
An update is very much due I know, will get there soon enough.
Just like here but at the same time, it’s nice to not invest a lot into something if you don’t know anything about the topic. I was about to pull the trigger on a 800€ router from Protectli not so long ago while it would have been very far from what I actually needed while being hella overpriced for my needs.
Found out by reading/learning more about networking hardware before pulling the trigger but there are diminishing returns to all of that too. Hence it’s not an easy answer for sure.
Careful with Steam, you’re renting games from them. It’s a bargain for sure but you’re not owning them anyhow. As mentioned here. Consider buying DRM-free from GOG. 
I mean, hopefully you can hack it enough to not be locked into Steam-only games. Would be quite lame if it’s the case.
Otherwise, if you build your own gaming PC and slap SteamOS on it, you pretty much have the same thing? Sure, you need a bit of a know-how and components might be harder to source since you’re just a consumer but at least you get to choose everything yourself and can upgrade/make other things on it too.
I built computer since too long now that buying a pre-built PC is very stranger to me as of today.
I can understand buying into a PS5 if you want to play some exclusives like Bloodborne[1] but a PC? Not really given the fact that you have community-approved/recommended lists of Linux-compatible hardware → all the hard work is already done for you. 
If you go DIY enough, you can always also stream from your desktop gaming PC to your living room via HTPC with Moonlight/etc. More raw power, still comfy enough on your sofa and you own the whole chain.
Kinda like this one.
Yeah or use any self-hosted instance of anything, or do an automated backup or anything else really.
I still think this is a solid recommendation given what I read on Reddit and other popular hobbyist places.
You can also ask for a recommendation on this forum if you want a cross-reference. 
not saying it’s cool that this is a thing but I can relate to exclusives ↩︎
