You lose nothing by installing Linux on your old computer before buying a new one. If you don't like it, then go ahead and buy that new machine. Just remember to back up your files before you install Linux.

The short answer is: Yes. Both Java and Bedrock version of Minecraft can be played on Linux. Steam is available for Linux, and with Proton (let's just call it a feature of Steam) you can play almost all Steam games.

Linux Mint is a beginner-friendly stable distribution. Stable means that instead of updates being released immediately after becoming available, they are released after some kind of testing period. That means, that you don't need to worry about the system breaking because of some bad update, but it also means that you don't have the latest and greatest versions of the software. Some newer versions of software, especially newer kernel versions, can improve things like gaming performance. The kernel on Linux Mint lags behind several versions, but Linux being Linux, there are ways to install newer or the latest version of the kernel - or any other piece of software.

If you are going to replace your computer with a new one, you lose nothing by installing Linux on it to see how it is. Linux Mint is a good option.

Quite a few distros use systemd.

Good to know. I guess I managed to only look at their Android offerings.

~~PocketBooks use Android, which can be a positive or a negative. It gives you access to Play Store, but it’s also Google.~~

Calibre can also convert between various file formats, and with DeDRM plugin, it can also remove Amazon and Adobe DRM.

Also subscription services typically pay the actual authors only pennies. If you want to support the authors, buy the books or use libraries.

There are stores in many European countries that sell DRM-free e-books in local languages. They might use the term watermarked instead of DRM-free. See if you can find one in your country. Because they are DRM-free, you can use any device to read them.

Many libraries also lets you rent audiobooks and e-books. Many European libraries have moved to using Readium LCP DRM for e-books. You will probably have to use their own app to read them, which means you can't use e-readers, such as Kobo to read them.

At full operation, ITER is expected to produce 500 megawatts of fusion power from only 50 megawatts of input heating power, a tenfold gain. At this level of efficiency, the fusion reaction largely self-heats, becoming a "burning plasma."

That 10x gain would be pretty huge, if they can make it to work. I believe the record so far is only 1.5x.

I've been playing Expedition 33 on desktop Linux, and it's really great. It really does put a lot of other games to shame. Good to know it works acceptably on the Deck.
