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

Micro$oft are being dicks again, film at 11 but here's the thing - if you're interested in customizing Windows - just grab that live distro and get to it man. Linux is here and it's ready for prime time.

At this point Windows is just for businesses who don't know better (or refuse to learn) and people who haven't been told The Good News yet.

Linux isnt quite ready for prime time.

But neither is windows anymore, and Linux isnt generally shitting itself and taking features, features you might rely on away from you

The fucking precarity of modern windows, man. Plus the amount it must spy on you.

One reason not to switch to linux: I want to play PCVR with my Quest 2. It has a really bad stutter when moving around using the only tool that works: ALVR, and this makes VR unplayable. I have not found an actual solution, just a handful of speculative issues threads that go silent as to what is the answer if any.

A wasted opportunity to natively support these features and make the user base happy.

Remember the days when Microsoft would block ClassicShell the same way they did StartAllBack here, on Win10?

Pepperridge farm remembers :V

What? You tell me that Windows won't be customisable any.... Sorry can't do it with a straight face. Fuck you Microsoft! Linux ftw
