I detest ageist and ignorant comments like "My dad plays games and there is no way in hell I would give him a Linux machine to play games.". My mom and dad were gaming into their mid-70's around the time they passed away. I'm approaching 60 and have gamed for 4 decades and see no stopping. I've read multiple comments from people in their 80's and even 90's still gaming. Proton enables a lot of great games to play on Linux, I use it every day. Linux lets all users including non-technical, use it every day with ease.

Great job just ignoring the issues I bring up and trying to wipe them away because of "ageist". I think I can speak on my dads technical understanding better than you can. We have tried to give him an iPhone and he has struggled with that so he continues to use a flip phone. The last thing I want to do is give him a device that due to Valve pushing a bad OS update (I mean the last Update made it so I could no longer boot normally and I had to do a boot from file and then fix that in the terminal) or games won't load because something breaks in the update for that game, which has happened to me. That is not ageist to worry about a device not working as expected (which has happened to me, I just have the technical knowledge to fix it).
