I know, I lived through it, and it was great at the time. Note that I was responding to OP who said he he'd set aside a Windows PC just for gaming. That would qualify as a gaming appliance in this context.
- orbital-decay 2y agoThis might be true for competitive games with an intrusive anti-cheat, but not for gaming in general. I also keep an isolated PC specifically for these games, for my kids and myself - only because of the anticheat. But games like KSP always go to the main PC full of tools and possibilities to mod and tinker.
- npteljes 2y agoYes, in reality I do both as well. I dual-boot my PC, I have two 1 terabyte SSDs in it, one for Linux, and one for Windows. The online multiplayer stuff I do on the Windows partition, it has the launchers, discord, and a bunch of things like that - and none of my personal data, just what's very strictly necessary for gaming, and even then, I'm often 100 years old, and live at "Screwyou Avenue 1" and things like that. And on my Linux partition I live my real life, but even that has the Steam launcher with some games, which I play not particularly isolated from anything else.
