Microsoft appears to be blocking even more apps for customizing the user interface in Windows 11 24H2. Users noticed that ExplorerPatcher joined the recently blocked StartAllBack app.

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

One more reason to switch to Linux

    Windows for gaming, Linux for everything else. With the way I use it, I don’t see the desktop, much less notice any changes between updates.

      By now you can use Linux for gaming too. Compatibility layers like Wine or Proton came a long way thanks to the steam deck.

        I have tried. For the games I like to play, this is not the case, sadly. Windows provides a vastly superior gaming experience in my case.

          No doubt windows is still better (or more seemless) overall in regards of gaming especially since Linux kinda emulates (but not really) a windows environment which requires some fiddling here and there and there are still some issues with some Anti Cheat powered games. But still you technically can game on Linux 😄

            Unfortunately, our lives don’t perform at the technical level but the practical. Gaming performance for the games I like are abysmal on linux. I appreciate linux for what it excels at but I would never suggest it to someone that wanted to game.

              @schwim
              As far I read on internet and benchnatks, If you have a working #Vulkan, the average performance between Windows and #Wine (proton) is equal. That means also, there cases where a Windows Games performs beter on a Linux with proton.
              I assume the cause is also that some gamedeveloper enhance a game for steam deck also.
              I propose to retest your case again.
