I’m in the same boat. Been using Linux on a laptop for decades. But have always used Windows for gaming on my gaming desktop. I’m due for a rebuild and had a Linux build planned out that I was going to buy parts for during the holidays when they were expected to be on sale… Then RAM shot through the roof. A few months back the retail price of the parts (minus accessories and a case) was at a little above $1700 now it’s almost at $2100 due to the RAM pricing.
