No I am of few means and I wait until games are on sale. Like Solasta I waited for until I got a good deal. There’s really no rush. As an exception I paid full price for BG3 because Larian have shown extraordinary community spirit.

My laptop gets shut down every night, booted every morning. If I suspend it sometimes spontaneously wakes later, but boot is so fast anyway so it’s fine.
My server gets updated and rebooted weekly. I don’t bother checking CVE bulletins, I just upgrade weekly.
I have Intel iGPU and Nvidia dGPU on my laptop, it works perfectly with Prime offload. I never need to switch, it uses Intel for desktop/VA-API and offload for games. No issues, at all on my distribution.
Anyway, every thread have your kind of unhelpful comment. The thing is some people have Nvidia, some have AMD and AMD also have bugs. Let’s try to make everyone happy, not everyone have piles of money to throw after new hardware.
Well, I settled on a Ubuntu derivative so I guess it’s in the family. It could just as easily have been Fedora though.
