Every day with Windows is like this. It’s a fucking nightmare. I don’t know what else to do.
Truly Truly, I say unto you, install Linux; it's what you really must do.
I have a few games that don’t run on Steam. How big of a pain is it to get them running?
This is like 50-70% of my PC usage.
Fairly easy with something like lutris or the heroic game launcher if said games are on gig amazon gaming or epic
No, they have their own launchers.
It's good that these tools exist, but it's so frustrating that it's a constant cat and mouse game of Microsoft trying to make their products as cumbersome and shit as possible and the community trying to salvage Windows to the best of their ability.
At what point do OEMs just say actually nah, I'm tired of you making our laptops frustrating to use?
At what point do they say fuck it I'm going the Valve route and moving away from a company that wants to undermine my products and my brand?
To be fair, Window$ has been bloat since the very day M$ stole it from its Unix roots, and Linux is everything that the OS could've been were it not run by money-grubbin' cringelords.
Unix roots? Lol wtf
