Microsoft blocks even more customization apps in Windows 11 version 24H2
www.neowin.net
Microsoft appears to be blocking even more apps for customizing the user interface in Windows 11 24H2. Users noticed that ExplorerPatcher joined the recently blocked StartAllBack app.

TLDR: StartAllBack, ExplorerPatcher and some other projects are being blocked on 24H2.

One more reason to switch to Linux

    By now you can use Linux for gaming too. Compatibility layers like Wine or Proton came a long way thanks to the steam deck.

      I have tried. For the games I like to play, this is not the case, sadly. Windows provides a vastly superior gaming experience in my case.

        No doubt windows is still better (or more seemless) overall in regards of gaming especially since Linux kinda emulates (but not really) a windows environment which requires some fiddling here and there and there are still some issues with some Anti Cheat powered games. But still you technically can game on Linux 😄

          Unfortunately, our lives don’t perform at the technical level but the practical. Gaming performance for the games I like are abysmal on linux. I appreciate linux for what it excels at but I would never suggest it to someone that wanted to game.

            @schwim
            As far I read on internet and benchnatks, If you have a working #Vulkan, the average performance between Windows and #Wine (proton) is equal. That means also, there cases where a Windows Games performs beter on a Linux with proton.
            I assume the cause is also that some gamedeveloper enhance a game for steam deck also.
            I propose to retest your case again.
