I can't believe a paid OS needs a tool like this. Here's a GUI tool called OFGB (Oh Frick Go Back) to remove all the ads in Windows 11. It's understandable if a free OS or app needs ad support, but this is just crazy github.com/xM4ddy/OFGB

The usual, I would but games (and proprietary software for work)

I run a Linux machine literally next to my Windows desktop and yeah it's 98% for my daily usually but that's still a week worth of "Not working" for my year.

Fallout 3 was hard enough to get working on Windows many moons ago but even with all the "Use Lutris" or "Use Heroic" cries, it'd be easier to run a whole Windows VM than to get it running natively and in the forty minutes of time I have to game, I'd rather just play the game sometimes.

So, if I have to play in their Sandbox, I'm gonna shit in it first so they don't try to come play too.

Plus, VR and all that.

That's why my windows partition is still in regular use. I play apex legends. It used to play flawlessly on pop is but over a year ago at this point it started screwing up.

I'd usually be able to get it working after a while, but when I have 30-45 minutes or maybe an hour at most to game, I don't want to spend all of it "fixing". I'd rather restart into windows and be playing in a minute.
