Microsoft is blocking Windows Customization Tools - Lemmy.World

TLDR: StartAllBack, ExplorerPatcher and some other projects are being blocked on 24H2. One more reason to switch to Linux

Micro$oft are being dicks again, film at 11 but here’s the thing - if you’re interested in customizing Windows - just grab that live distro and get to it man. Linux is here and it’s ready for prime time.

At this point Windows is just for businesses who don’t know better (or refuse to learn) and people who haven’t been told The Good News yet.

This will be true when Linux supports anticheat (well, when anticheat supports Linux).

Sure, not everyone uses their computer for gaming, but I’m sure a lot would like the option.

well, when anticheat supports Linux

It certainly does in many games. Helldivers 2 and Hunt: Showdown (the first two pvp games that came to mind) are both rated gold on Linux.

How well does HELLDIVERS 2 work on Linux and the Steam Deck?

Those are all great games, but the unfortunate truth is that you’re still going to be limited. Some people may be totally okay with only playing the games that get support but I feel like I’d always feel like I’m missing out if a game I’m really interested in doesnt.

only games you’ll be missing is games with invasive kernal level drm/anticheat.

most people with common sense tend to avoid those games and their rootkits to begin with, so you’re really missing nothing by switching.

Sometimes theres a game that doesnt run great at the moment but within 3-6 months runs like a dream.

You have my attention, as someone who’s been considering switching my main to a Linux.
