I wouldn't suppose that people are required to inform steam that they're dead. Therefore, I'd assume the easiest way to bequeath games/DLCs, etc, is to get a wishlist from your loved ones, and then gift all of those games prior to death on a credit card that you might not be able to pay, due to being dead. Steam gets the money, the CC company gets shafted. Alternately, share your credit card details with a loved one and that list, and have them order within hours of your death (this depends on whether or not you were plausibly alive when those CC transactions took place)

It's good now: https://www.protondb.com/
Go with an AMD graphics card, they work right out of the box in Linux so it's just that much easier.
Valve tried selling Linux boxes for gaming back in 2013, but noone wanted to sell/make/buy them b/c the library wasn't there and it's a hard sell when Windows is already baked into OEM hardware pricing anyways (so it wasn't any cheaper to buy a pre-made Steam Machine than it was a similar-spec windows box).
If someone you know has/if you have kids: car vaccumn. It's thoughtful, useful, easier than stopping by the gas station just to clean out the family truckster, and you can find them for around $25 at Walmart.
Psh. You posuer. I've converted my life savings to yuan notes and am now keeping them under the bed to reduce the circulation of cash in the Chinese economy. 
Libre office's filtering is far better though- being able to apply actual regex instead of Excel's weird proprietary pattern matching is just so much better that I opt for it most of the time.
I mean it's to the point that if you're willing to install an operating system (a smaller sunset of computer users overall) , you can go with Linux no problem
I mean if it's the choice between Fisher-Price Linux in a decently good looking package or Windows in whatever (maybe entirely useless spec) machine your employer offers, it's probably better to get the Mac for a lot of people.
What I really appreciate is that it's geared toward handhelds, but has a decent desktop experience and is powerful enough to be a nice mobile media/piracy box with a remote and a USB-C breakout dongle. You don't even need to change the read-only filesystem if you use WireGuard VPN (this might take some legwork to generate the .conf files you need, depends on VPN provider) and a streaming/torrenting program that comes in flatpak.
EDIT: Also forgot, you can add a custom shortcut to your Steam Library and have (some) programs launch from the SteamOS frontend rather than desktop.
I had fried gator and it was actually a pretty nice meat all considered - it had that "freshwater fish" taste that I kinda dislike but otherwise it was sort of a softer-textured chicken.
I've been running Linux in some form since 2012 - I installed Ubuntu 12 on my old laptop and played around with it - was a pain so I dropped it for Windows until like.. 2015? Then I went full into it as I started getting into programming and whatnot.
I'd say so - since you're coming in relatively cold you're probably not so used to Windows that you'd get frustrated with how Linux works compared to it, and if you're just using it for regular, everyday stuff like web browsing there's practically no difference.
I'm at about 3TB with about 1/3 of that being games. 1TB is HDD, 1 is SSD, and 1 NVME. I've progressively add more drives every time I re-install my system so there's a bit of cleanup for me to do I guess
I guess it's mostly because Mac and Windows are just easier to run for most organizations, and IME as someone who's never worked at a software company, IT teams don't have any interest in admin'ing Linux for a small handful of users.
But well... you might be right. Non-linux sysadmins probably think it's not possible and just hand out windows or mac.
I mean even if you were totally knowledgeable about it (Imo, as a non-IT person) it seems like it's a hard sell in terms of effort/value unless it's totally necessary esp if there's an established user base for Mac/windows.
Ah gotcha - well it always comes down to use case, imo.
EXPLAIN SETTING UP AUDIO SOFTWARE ON LINUX TO ME OR I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU! DON'T DUMB IT DOWN INTO SOME VAGUE SHIT! EXPLAIN JACK TO ME RIGHT NOW OR I'LL LITERALLY FUCKING KILL YOU! WHAT THE FUCK IS cannot use real-time scheduling (FIFO at priority -4) ? WHAT THE FUCK ARE JACKD and QJACKCTL? DON'T DUMB IT DOWN OR I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU
But seriously I've tried getting some music-making/software synths/recording/tracking software together and every time I just bounce off of it because setting it up is just too much effort/out of my regular software wheelhouse/the documentation is like 5 decade-old forum posts with 2 replys.
Homeopathy. It's literally based on the idea that diluting stuff turns it into a remedy.
