In my view, this is unacceptable...

They changed my background (previously there was a default blue window), placed an icon in the bottom corner of the screen that read "Learn more about this photo", and re-added the search bar that I had previously removed.

Fortunately, I don't have to deal with this on a daily basis.

All it did to you was cosmetic.

Windows 10's "feature" updates consistently also re-enable the "fast startup" option on my machine when they install. Which, on my particular motherboard and SSD combination, causes Windows to take about 30 minutes to boot when left enabled for reasons I have never been able to comprehend. A regular cold boot only takes like 20 seconds, so... I definitely tend to notice when it does this behind my back yet again.

It also does it so that you no longer hit the bootloader. My one last dual boot machine is normally a Linux setup, but every so often I have to use the real MS Office tools (some collaborator or publisher demands it), so I boot windows. Then windows patches and stops actually hitting grub so it acts like a windows only machine until I fix whatever Microsoft fucks up yet again.

It's time to move to a VM for this garbage. I just don't neet it more than once every other year so I never seem to get around to nuking it.

How’s gaming on Linux working out lately? I have a newer Windows 11 machine and looking to jump ship, asap.

[-] Omega_Jimes@lemmy.ca 5 points 6 months ago

Ive been 100% linux since 2016, and while there are some pain points, the games that work, work amazingly well.

I have epic games, gog, steam games all working through launchers that work pretty perfectly. The biggest pain points are developers with intrusive anticheats.

Check the games you/your friends play against protondb.com or areweanticheatyet.com before committing yourself.

[-] tgxn@lemmy.tgxn.net 5 points 6 months ago

It's really good. Proton works great for everything over tried to play. It's pretty amazing actually

[-] xavier666@lemm.ee 4 points 6 months ago

Rule of thumb: If your game has kernel-level anticheat, it probably won't work. If your game doesn't have any anticheats, there's a 95% chance it will work on Linux.

[-] BURN@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Still no good if you play about 70% of games with an anticheat. Outside of that it’s fine if you’re willing to put up with general Linux issues

[-] azimir@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 months ago

I haven't had time to seriously game in a decade now (single dad killed my free time), so I'm by no means well versed beyond a few things. My kids do game a lot and most of them are on Linux machines. They use a combination of Steam and standalone installs to get things working.

I don't run into a lot of complaints. They're well aware that not all games run on their Linux setups, so they pick and choose games a bit more. I'm fortunate that they're not always jonesing for the latest AAA games, but they're also getting new ones with some regularity.

[-] NOPper@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

I've been 100% Linux for almost 8 years now and a fairly heavy gamer. There's a handful of games with online anticheat stuff that devs refuse to make compatible, but beyond that it's almost always click install and play in Steam even for stuff that isn't "compatible".

My favorite part is how it broke the Intel wifi card during my Linux install until I booted back into windows just to turn fast boot off. Maybe some hackery to skip initializing wifi hardware or something?

[-] Kuma@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Dude, you enlighten me, that happened to me too but it was during the time I jumped between win and Linux and one day did the wifi card just stop working and I couldn't figure out why, I tried many things without luck but some days it magicaly worked again and I haven't been in windows since and have never had that problem again. I don't know if I turned off fast boot (but I have done that many times so it is likely), so it could have been an update that turned it on. I will remember this if it happens to someone or myself again. Thank you!

Just passing the tourch I guess. A random post on the archlinux forum saved me and I'm glad sharing my experience helps someone else.
