Does this trick actually work?

    If you don’t want a Microsoft account, at this point you should really consider switching to Linux.

      I have a Microsoft account for my Xbox and for certifications but I have zero intention of ever using it to login to Windows.

        Try a little Proton. There’s also Lutris. There hasn’t been a game I own that I haven’t been able to play on Linux.

          Unfortunately, two of my most played games (R6:Siege and Cod MW2) can’t run on linux, and last time I checked Visual Studio also.

              Hmm, I can’t seem to find it. Maybe you were thinking about Visual Studio Code? I know for sure that runs natively on linux.

                  Yeah, not that great of a naming convetion with that one. At least my servers still run linux, so I have somewhere to fall back to when windows gets on my nerves :-D

              Yeah well, that’s what happens when you have friends that play those games, and you like to get together with them.

              You should try it sometime.

          Proton is amazing as long as you don’t get bit by anticheat, which thankfully is getting better.

          Thankfully I don’t play many games with anticheat so almost the entirety of my game library runs on my Linux install.

        Yeah, that sucks. I’m not much of a gamer myself. I know there are workarounds, but I probably would stay with Windows for games too if that was the case.
