Pays 100$ for windows 11 pro expecting to not see targeted advertising.
“Play Candy Crush on the Windows App Store Now!” ad baked into the Lock Screen ffs why
Buy an OEM key next time, I’ve never spent more than 20 bucks for Pro.
Or, you know, don’t use Windows
Yeah, I mostly use Linux. Unfortunately, certain games only run on Windows and you’re stuck using it if you want to play those titles.
Ah, anti-cheat problems? Feels like those are nearly the only ones that won’t play nice with Proton nowadays
There are so many good games out there, I can simply skip the ones that don’t run on Linux.
Pretty much only ones that use an invasive, kernel-level anticheat. I don’t want that on my system regardless.
Buy
No

I tried the Official Windows 11 start menu. I had disabled showing “recommended apps” in the settings. This hid the icons, but not the section. So, whenever I opened the start menu, the entire bottom half was a section that said “enable recommended apps to show them here.”
That’s when I installed Start11 (I also bought StartAllBack, but I preferred Start11) and never looked back.
At this point I’ve just abandoned the start menu all together. PowerToys Run has effectively become how I launch anything that isn’t on the taskbar, tied to one of the buttons on my mouse or a keyboard shortcut. Everything search on a different shortcut replaces the built-in search.
Of course that’s just how I cope on my mandatory-Windows 11 work laptop. At home (and I know this is almost a meme at this point), I’m slowly getting myself accustomed to Linux alongside Windows 10 until that’s no longer feasible.
So it’s just an added feature of StartAllBack - no more updating!
Glad I have no idea what this is. Thanks Proton
What does Proton have to to with this?
You don’t need widows to game anymore (Proton the game software for Linux, not Proton the VPN/email provider)
I’ll switch once HDR support becomes mainstream in Linux. That and a Linux equivalent of AutoHDR (which is a Windows 11 feature that converts SDR videos and games to HDR). This is literally the only thing keeping me on Windows.
What they said.

Steam on Linux uses Proton to play Windows games. Ain’t perfect, but perfect enough I don’t need windows anymore.
Meh, I don’t care, I’d much rather have startallback than updates as it’s the only thing that makes that windows box usable.
This isn’t normal Windows Updates. These are warnings for OS upgrades as Windows Insiders upgrade to new preview builds of the OS.
