_Gaming on homelab hardware - not your typical gaming rig_

I've been experimenting with Linux gaming on my homelab equipment for a few years now. Here's what actually works when you're gaming on enterprise hardware instead of a dedicated gaming PC.

**My Experience:**

I game on Linux about 60% of the time. For competitive shooters or games with kernel-level anti-cheat (League, Valorant, GTA Online), I still dual-boot to Windows. But for everything else, Linux works surprisingly well - especially on enterprise hardware that's overkill for gaming.

Gaming on Linux with homelab hardware isn't conventional, but it works better than expected. The Quadro P2200 handles 1080p gaming at medium/high settings, and once I add the RTX 4060 eGPU to the Beelink, I'll have a proper gaming setup.

The biggest hurdle isn't performance - it's anti-cheat compatibility. If you play mostly single-player games or older multiplayer titles, Linux gaming is viable. If you're into competitive esports titles, keep Windows around.
