A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I too am in the "Only stuck on Windows for gaming" crowd. My previous jaunt going full Linux was by far the most successful, but Nvidia's poor Linux support and performance once again led me back to the Microsoft world on Desktop.
re: context menu
Don't trust me here, or any post giving commands like this. You can search for steps to revert the context menu to pre-simplified versions. You can do the same as this command manually using regedit and finding the correct keys/etc... After this, reboot and you have your menu back to a usable state.
reg.exe add "HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID\{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}\InprocServer32" /f /veI know it's possible, but honestly, I just went back to 10 because I wanted to reinstall anyway (among other reasons, to greatly reduce my Windows partition size, which could technically be done in place, but it's nicer when you don't need to concern yourself with the physical data layout on the drive - I don't wanna defrag my SSD lol).
It's entirely possible I'll quit using Windows for good before the 2025 deadline even hits. Linux gaming is just getting pretty good these days.
