Yeah, I know. Install Linux.

I'll do that when every single gaming title works flawlessly on it and not a second before.

Until then, I'll utilize whatever workaround the community comes up with to strip this shit out of File Explorer.

P.S. Many games still don't work on Linux. https://areweanticheatyet.com/

Honestly all my games have ran on bazzite better than windows with better FPS. And much less RAM consumption. Even some of those EAC games run well.

The more people that leave MS the more support Linux games will get.

Sorry, I like playing my games which span a 30 year timeframe. And if even one didn't work on Linux, then it isn't worth it to me.

Ok, have fun on windows while the rest of us move to Linux and enjoy gaming there.

Between Lutris and Steam, I've been able to run every game flawlessly -- several with better performance than I've seen on Windows, even.

The only limitation is anti-cheat software that some games (Team Fortress, Battlefield, etc.) require. I don't play those types of games myself, so it's not an issue for me.

Oh you holding out for those few microtransaction storefronts that are SO much fun?

I've never had a single issue with any game on Linux. Just do it
