Now when trying to activate the OS by attempting to call the phone number for Microsoft Product Activation, an automated voice response says the following: "Support for product activation has moved online.

Linux is this way, guys.

    I would still like to know which and why. Usually there are alternatives out even for those multiplayer games. Example -> all the Valve Games / Blizards Games are good too ;)

      Sure, there are alternatives for the games I listed, but if all your friends are playing any of the games I listed, you don’t have many options for Linux outside of something like Shadow or GeForce Now, which admittedly is a pretty solid option for online-only games if you live near their servers.

      sadly most online mp games have kernel-level anti-cheat that doesn’t run on linux

        i can’t agree with this general statement. i guess it’s important to understand that a lot of the multiplayer games you wanna currently play have some kind of protection which makes it currently not suitable to run on linux.

        just to give a different view mp games which currently seem to work ( checked protondb ):
        - Eldenring Nightreign
        - Dark and Darker (used to work)
        - Helldivers & Helldivers 2
        - Arc Raiders
        - Counter Strike
        - Overwatch
        - DOOM in very different versions
        - Quake Live
        - Hunt Showdown 1896
        - Dead by Daylight
        - Warframe

        with all respect for the games you currently love so much, please don’t make general statements.

        A personal advice i want to give: Only change to linux if you are also willing to change yourself and adapt. Linux is not Windows like, Mac OS is not Windows , like a Playstation is not a XBOX or a Switch.

          i know a lot of the mp games i play have an anti-cheat that doesn’t support linux, i’m blaming the AC devs here, not linux.

          as for my general statement, i used this handy little website: https://areweanticheatyet.com/

          note how i said most mp games w anti-cheat can’t run on linux. i think 59% qualifies as ‘most’.

          i’m rlly not sure why you’re so defensive here ngl, i love linux. i use linux on one of my pcs for development, i’m not attacking linux in any way.
