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

    Solasta: Crown of the Magister which has poor compatibility in wine and proton to my understanding.

    70 reports disagree

    I don’t need the hassle

    Linux is far less hassle in my experience. Especially with one of the many SteamOS-like distros.

    But by all means, you do you.

    I don’t need an excuse to leave the gaming rig powered on when I’m not using it.

    …why would Linux give you that excuse?

      That was just one example. And I’d you review that page you linked, they don’t all disagree, there were more than a few reporting issues with it. It’s gold rated, but not platinum.

      I’m glad you’re enjoying the experience, but either way the point I was making is that my gaming PC is just an appliance. It works and I have enough other things to do that I don’t feel like reinstalling the OS and a butt-ton of games.

      When I need to do a rebuild/upgrade in the future I’ll likely revisit Linux with it, but until then I don’t see the point. I only turn it on a few hours a week to game and otherwise it’s off. And when it is on, I just want to game, not potentially spend time fiddling or troubleshooting if something isn’t as expected.
