Last time I signed up (a few years ago) you could just enter whatever email you wanted and never bother to verify it. It’s only a problem if you forget your password

But not too frequently. Updating too often on Arch will increase your chances of something breaking. Updating once a week or twice a week gives the developers some time to fix bugs and make changes to other packages as needed

And Vanguard is already being bypassed by using external tools. IIRC I saw a video about it where the cheater had the hack running on a completely separate computer.

Maybe, but it works great for me and I like Arch

This is why I made my own install script for arch that gets me fully up and running with working hibernation and other tweaks. It might not take 5 minutes to install but I only have to press a few buttons and let it run

I just want to say that “Arch” didn’t push or update anything. Everything in the AUR is maintained by the community and if something from there breaks then it’s not on the Arch team

Wouldn’t that be illegal in Europe with GDPR and other consumer protection laws?

Ubuntu and Gnome Desktop singlehandedly made me hate Linux in my teens

From my experience on the Steam Deck is doesn’t matter if I run low graphics or medium graphics (some high settings) the performance is almost the same

Notepad++ is also pretty nice

Using QEMU/Virt-Manager you can just create a new VM and instead of creating a virtual disk you just input the path to your drive manually. In my case it’s mounted at /dev/sdb

This will pass your full drive to the VM and Windows will just boot up like magic

Edit: If you already have a Windows VM I would assume you could just edit it and change from virtual drive to your full Windows drive instead. I don’t think you have to make a new one

Here are the feature differences compared to regular Windows https://www.revi.cc/docs/faq/before/features/

Revi is built using the Ameliorated Wizard. The CLI version is open source.

I also considered using Tiny11 and Ghost Spectre but ended up with Revi because I don’t really trust Tiny11 or Ghost Spectre. It’s super easy for a malicious actor to include malware in those redistributed ISOs.

Of course the same thing can be said about Revi but Revi also offers the option to run their Playbook on a regular install of Windows. Or you could make your own custom Windows Playbook with Ameliorated.

Then there is also AtlasOS which, like Revi, is made using Ameliorated. I chose Revi because they had MS store and Windows defender still working and I like their custom tool. But according to Atlas developers, Windows Defender will be coming back in the next release.

In the end I guess what it comes down to is who you trust. The safest bet would be to debloat Windows yourself.

I am using single GPU VFIO passthrough and it’s good enough to game on, especially if you also pin your CPU threads in the VM. You will lose a little bit of performance but if you really need that extra power you can just switch to bare metal Windows using dual boot

If you don’t want the full bloated Windows I can recommend that you check out ReviOS

Dual boot on separate disks is pretty nice. You can even load up your Windows install inside a VM on your Linux drive

It honestly makes me wonder why i keep using windows on my main desktop if proton allows playing most anything i play

I was asking myself the same question. Then I installed Linux on my desktop and I have never been happier
