>I am thrilled to shell out thousands and thousands of dollars to purchase a machine that feels like it really belongs to me, from a company that respects my data and has aligned incentives.

Build a desktop PC, yes like a nerdy gamer. ^_^

Install Linux

Been the way for years.

Gamer + Linux is asking for trouble though.

At least these days - it means asking for less trouble. It really is improving leaps and bounds. But I still dual boot on my gaming PC, but I run a lot of games on Linux in compatibility mode and it works well a reasonable amount of the time.

You can build a workstation with Ryzen Threadripper.

What I meant is it been more popular to build your own PC for gamers due to price and customization.

Or for laptops, Thinkpad and Linux :)

When is the last time you tried it? I did yesterday and outside of Activision and some EA games it’s great.
