I made this prediction before kind of joking, but I feel like it could still end up this way, where in the near future we’ll all be installing a FOSS AI after a fresh install whose sole job is to target the corpo AI’s on our local machines and continuously cripple them.

The guys using FOSS Ai would be the same guys using an operating system without an hostile Ai built in.

FWIW I was worried this might be on W10 (hey, they might try it) so I tried the >dism commands found earlier in this thread (thanks btw!) & got “Feature name Recall is unknown”.

Safe for now

I've been running Pop!_OS with the Cinnamon desktop environment on my machine at home for the past 3 months. I'm very impressed with the out-of-the-box experience. All my games run in Steam or Lutris.

Fuck Microsoft.

For me the same, but with kubuntu. Linux is really ready to be used as a desktop.

Even on Pro or Enterprise editions? I can't imagine businesses tolerating this never mind governments.

Proton is a better option unless the game needs Anti-Cheat, which most won't work in a VM, anyway

Personally I dual boot Win10 LTSC with fake credentials and some privacy tweaks for games that need to be on windows

[–] Covenant@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 months ago

I've tested it, and while it does work, there are some issues:

The anti-cheat doesn't work for all games (delta force demo).
Sometimes i had strange sound glitches.
I had to use a second mouse. In certain games where you drag the camera (like Sins of a Solar Empire), the camera spins uncontrollably fast.
It's not as fast or responsive, but good enough.
Game Pass games don't run.

Because of these points, I still keep Windows 10 as a dual boot option.

[–] muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I only play games that work native or via proton. I just use windows for the CAD programs that i need to use. I do gpu pass through and native for my host system idk how this would be for gaming tho.
