This is Microsoft’s latest annoying addition to Windows.

    this pushed me to try linux again for the second time. but all i do on my pc is game mostly. i couldn’t get the games i was playing at the time to work so i quit. i spent 3 days trying to get resident evil 4 and guardians of the galaxy to work over a single ad for fallout-in-space-game.

    i’ve settled on disabling “get fun facts, tips, tricks and more on your lock screen” check box in personalization >> lock screen

    i really wish i could get games to work on linux.

      Were you referencing protondb.com for information about those games? I see they’re rated silver and gold, respectively, so both should work with some tinkering. Silver might be a bit much for a linux newbie.

        I did. I started trying with guardians of the galaxy and gave up after I couldn’t get re4 working, which like you said was gold. I’ll probably give it another shot soon. I’ve been playing a lot of FFXIV and apparently that runs well.

        I have an extra m2 slot I’m going to buy a drive dedicated to trying to get off the Microsoft teat.
