Reminder that Microsoft is trying to shift Windows to be entirely cloud based, so this can easily happen overnight without your consent. You don’t own your OS. Linux is the only way, unless you’re one of those strange BSD folks.
>b-but muh proprietary software and vidya gaymes!!!
Ik this is sarcastic but the video games issue is real regardless of Proton and its derivatives on Linux. Windows really is the best way to game right now
I feel that this very much depnd on which games you’re playing. Competitive or Roblox, Windows is the better choice. Majority of the games I play though works without any issues on Linux.
I’ve heard that some games even are faster on Linux even when running proton buy it isn’t anything I’ve myself has investigated.
Gaming is one of my main intrests and I’ve been playing on Linux for at least ten years. It’s not for everyone I guess.
Microsoft Pluton sounds a lot like Google Ultron from the classic copypasta
Microsoft Pluton has detected thought crimes in violations of Section 232 (17 U.S.C. § 381) on your device. Your IMEI and local audio-video recordings have been transfered to authorities for further inspection.
Isn’t this bypassed by clicking “More info” and the “Run” button appears?
Microsoft can’t be bothered to make a single, unified control panel but they have resources to work on shit like this.
Imagine still using Windows after all the shit they’ve pulled over the years.
MacOS? at least Unix?
Walled garden? Pass.

Because Windows is known to be malicious spyware, and you should consider not tolerating it any longer.
As a Linux Uber-amateur, it feels like we’re basically able to do anything I would want to do on Linux now… the thing where Microsoft tries to not allow you to download stuff because they haven’t paid Microsoft to sign it has always annoyed me. This would be the next level of nope.
One thing that’s kept me on the fence is I like multiplayer games, and I had always heard that battle eye didn’t work on Linux, but with all the proton development and steam deck interest, perhaps this is becoming a non issue?
Microsoft what?
Yeah no… what is this? and where is this?
I’m on the latest stable version of W11 and I have tons of pirated content on my PC lmao
I’ve never gotten this message
its fake
I remember a similar scare when Vista was coming out, and then nothing happened. Probably the tech wasn’t ready then and now it is, that’s why is so encouraging so see big progress in Linux gaming, just in case.
Edit: found a source for the Vista thing https://www.forbes.com/2007/02/10/microsoft-vista-drm-tech-security-cz_bs_0212vista.html?sh=38c0bc9e175e
And yes, we know the picture is fake, but the Pluton platform is real and the nefarious intentions can always be counted on.
Fake
Not really, this screenshot is fake.
