Well, I mean... it's free. So there's that. I guess you can use an unactivated version of Windows 10 for free, but that's also kind of annoying.

I'm finding the gaming performance through Steam to be basically identical to Windows with the exception of being able to do the stuff that Afterburner allows me to do. The Steam Deck apparently led to a lot of work being put in on the Proton side of things to the point where there's barely any noticeable difference there.

My AIO is in B.C. so at least until I yank the stock CPU cooler off the board (which doesn't even fit, it's being held on by 2 screws and I'm not sure it's seated all that well) I'll keep running it like this I think. I fixed the PCIe 4.0 issue, so everything is running well, and even with the cooler like that I'm getting idles in the 30s and max temps in the low 70s on the GPU and 80s on the CPU in games, which isn't particularly good, but it's... acceptable.
