Comment on Windows 11 is closing a loophole that let you skip making a Microsoft account

  It does, but performance seems a lot laggier than Windows.

  I’ve been using Linux full time for a while now, and only recently installed Windows on a secondary drive, just for those two things.

  Before, on Linux, it was a bit of mixed bag. Sometimes it would start up without issue, other times sound wouldn’t work, etc.

  Using corectl is a must, and make sure you have a stable steam install. (iirc the steam I installed didn’t come with half of the 32 bit libs it was expecting). I’m rocking a 7900xtx, so it’s not exactly low-end, and half-life alyx was giving me a lot of stutters.

    I can imagine the frustration of lag in vr.

    I have quite a different experience, can’t tell if it is placebo or not, but my vr experience is slightly smoother in Arch Linux compared to my Windows 10.

    i play VR via Proton using ALVR (steamvr) or Wivrn

    But i havent tried playing Alyx on linux yet
