On a new install, before powering up, make sure you don't start it up with Ethernet plugged in, when you get to the Wi-Fi connection stage hit Ctrl+f10
Type in
oobe\bypassnro
And press enter. The computer will restart and now when you get to the Wi-Fi connection screen you'll have a like that says "I don't have internet".
Or just don't use Windows
If all games start supporting Linux I will.
Apart from a few outliers, gaming is painless on Linux thanks to Valves Proton & friends.
Always online with kernel-level anti-cheat has a tendency to not work, but that is probably a red flag since there are thousands of different games you can play that don’t snoop around ring-0
If only that option were realistic
How is it not? I went from a diehard Windows power user to someone who hasn't looked back since 2019
It's not a simple one to one. Everyone's use case and experience is different. Don't get me wrong, I'm all in on the FOSS train and I don't approve of Microsoft's direction with Windows but it's still a consistently hassle-free experience compared to Linux for people who just don't wanna deal with distros, terminals, repositories or compatibility layers.
Well done mate! You are not alone!
If I can control my fans and my GPU in Linux the way I can in Windows I will.
Try emailing manufacturers and asking if they already have support, if they dont request that they start or you won't consider their parts for your next build. Your wallet is a powerful tool that can cause companies to bend to your will if you know how to use it.
Will need more info then I can recommend some software
If this offer still stands: What info do you need?
