so I started to see stuff on O&O ShutUp10++ that help disable most intrusive windows features, but it’s closed sorce, wondering if they are any open source alternatives? Shutup10 ++

      Which game? Linux can run a lot of Windows games these days.

      Edit: I struggle to imagine why some people have downvoted this. Since doing so doesn’t help anyone at all, I encourage them to use their words instead.

          Linux doesn’t need Steam to play Windows games. I won’t pester you to name your game if you don’t want to, though.

            I know, Ment it the only game not on steam, otherwise I’d have no reason to stay on windows.

            AS for the game it’s the buggy beautiful mess that is Star citizen, any guide I’ve found for Linux is borked is someway or another. Though the new Vulcan engine is supposed to make it more suitable for Linux over directx

          Yeah that’s about a piece of shit publisher, absolutely no technical reason behind that decision. BattlEye even runs on Linux and provides native integration with Linux and the Windows version even runs on Proton. But Bungie execs are outright assholes who mandated a ban on Linux and Valve’s Steam Deck.
