I'm planning on building a new gaming PC in the next couple of months. I haven't done so in about 7 years, so I'm a bit behind the times on hardware. Is there any special considerations you all would recommend when it comes to gaming on Linux? I already run Linux as my daily driver and have a home server, etc, so I'm mainly looking for suggestions regarding current hardware that I would want to consider for my new build.

I haven't done so before, but I'm interested in running Windows in a QEMU VM to avoid some of the pitfalls for certain multiplayer experiences in certain titles. If anybody has any experience with this also, I'd love to hear about it!

Thanks for any input you all have!

      I've been using this adapter for both BT and WiFi and it's honestly pretty good. Works out of the box and I've experienced zero hiccups in the past 6 months. So long as you don't mind the big ass antenna that is

      I am lucky enough to have wired my own house for data, so I have ethernet right at my PC Desk! (I also went a little overboard and wired for 220V power there) I've always preferred wired Keyboard/Mouse also, so hopefully those won't be an issue. I have wireless headphones from my existing PC, which I'm hoping to reuse. They already work well with my existing Linux PC.

      I love the idea of upscaling graphics on an emulator! Maybe I can go play through FF6/FF3 again!
