I literally have to "set up my computer" like 10 times a year now every time there's a seemingly "big enough" update, and it's just carefully navigating menus trying to get me to sign up for Microsoft services and trick me into switching to Edge

A couple updates ago they put a bunch of new shit on my lock screen, like stocks and news articles or something, which I disabled immediately. And then the last update made my clock disappear which I can't even be arsed to figure out if that's a setting or a bug. Just do whatever you want with my computer at this point I guess, Microsoft. I just want to play a game.



I got tired of that shit years ago and switched to PS5 for gaming and Debian for everything else.


I do have a PS5 but I prefer purchasing games on Steam if I have the option since I know those games are practically guaranteed to be forward compatible long term. I’d love to ditch Windows though. I hope Valve continues to make progress with Linux gaming with the Steam Deck.
