hm, very ... unique

Some laptops have better battery life with clean windows (bc proprietary drivers =( ). But if you want to improve linux battery life you should read these two and related articles: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Laptop , https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Power_management . And it shouldn't be necessary Arch.

not repeatative gameplay

It depends on the games you are going to play. i5 is enough to play cs:go 90 fps with low settings. Install linux, qemu+kvm with vga-passthrough. If smth more graphics demanding you can have problems configuring vga-passthrough for two graphics-cards , but there are also a lot of blog-posts in internet about that. So if you are lazy, you should pay %)

I also think it's kinda terrible, but mostly because people around don't try to think or do anything. So I'm looking hard for things that I find interesting and play with them mostly alone.

Actually no one knows. I think about living like about a story in a film or a book. You are writing a story for youself and people close to you. As any story it can be good or bad it can br about love or successful career, hoobby, meetings, journey, anything you want. If you spend time on TV or something alike and do nothing, there is no story.

The problem is in people, who bite the bait. Try to go to a cloth store: there are hoodies with stupid quotes like "I'm expensive" that cost 7-15 euros, and hoodies in the same store without quotes cost twice expensive. Much more people buy the first type of hoodies, so they cost less.

Good old days of Internet are gone. People with legacy minds are building country borders there. Some don't really hide the reasons for that like China. Some can't cope with problems in real life, and It's easier fot them to say that closing communication means for terrorists or closing unappropriate website will somehow help. And so popular today Server-Client architecture helps these people to make their wiches come true. Because easy to close one stable connection. Moreover their servants watching Netflix on their drm enabled kaby-lake PCs are bringing the new Dark Age closer. Meh.

The last content was awful, but I still hope new content, mentioned in WAN, will be better.

Too much overacting. There were videos not that much time ago about the goals of LMG and how it appeared. And now Linus like: "F it, we'are going to be another super-flashy-"content"-creating-media-group".

Google and stackoverflow ftw http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14775672/delete-all-files-and-folders-but-exclude-a-directory

DRM from Microsoft inside my CPU, well nope. I hope new AMD CPUs to be good

In theory session started by client should open port and there should be no problems, ofc if port isn't blocked by firewall. For something more complex such as player to player communication "hole punching" can be used http://www.brynosaurus.com/pub/net/p2pnat/

"Hyperthreading"

The main differencce is DRM module in Kabylake for online services (such as 4k netflix). Is it good or bad - your choice.
