  Buy an OEM key next time, I’ve never spent more than 20 bucks for Pro.

      Yeah, I mostly use Linux. Unfortunately, certain games only run on Windows and you’re stuck using it if you want to play those titles.

        There are so many good games out there, I can simply skip the ones that don’t run on Linux.

        Ah, anti-cheat problems? Feels like those are nearly the only ones that won’t play nice with Proton nowadays

        Pretty much only ones that use an invasive, kernel-level anticheat. I don’t want that on my system regardless.

      Microsoft owns github. I wonder if there’s going to be a purge of this kind of software from the system coming down the pike.

      I’m sure if they did that it would spark a mass exodus and the development of a viable alternative, but I’ve never seen those kinds of inevitable consequences stop a corporation from enshittifying.

        There are viable alternatives to GitHub already, especially if you need to host your own code.

        Gitlab comes to mind.

        Microsoft have actually been decent stewards of GitHub
