I’ve been dual-booting Linux and Windows for a while, with Windows as the fall-back option in case I wanted to use Office for something. Now that they tried to trick me into paying a subscription for their AI slop machine, I’m finally, fully out. It was a pain to actually track down and back-up the stuff that was held for ransom in OneDrive, but now it is done.

    Bro I use windows for mostly gaming and it forced me to update to 24h2 which broke most games.

      Could you clarify on this a bit? I’m genuinely curious what the update did to the games as many use windows for the same.

        Some games just dont run at all basically, you get a black screen. I could roll it back with the recovery but it would suck bad if I could not. Disabled updates for now.

          Do you know if this is all windows or specific versions/on specific hardware? That’s such a weird thing to have effecting potentially all windows versions. Very interesting though, thanks for clarifying.

            I had this issue on NFSU2 (yes I still play it) and after changing the widescreen fix it seems to be resolved at the moment. But sucks that Windows provides breaking changes with updates.

      Unless you’re specifically referring to games with kernal-level anti-cheat, I’m curious as to what games you need Windows for.

        Personally only use Windows on my work laptop and even that I am questioning it, might start using my Linux VM for day to day work
