This is Microsoft’s latest annoying addition to Windows.

      I’ve been getting ads for Forza on my lock screen for the last couple weeks. It used to be random pictures of exotic locations around the world.

        this pushed me to try linux again for the second time. but all i do on my pc is game mostly. i couldn’t get the games i was playing at the time to work so i quit. i spent 3 days trying to get resident evil 4 and guardians of the galaxy to work over a single ad for fallout-in-space-game.

        i’ve settled on disabling “get fun facts, tips, tricks and more on your lock screen” check box in personalization >> lock screen

        i really wish i could get games to work on linux.

          Were you referencing protondb.com for information about those games? I see they’re rated silver and gold, respectively, so both should work with some tinkering. Silver might be a bit much for a linux newbie.

            I did. I started trying with guardians of the galaxy and gave up after I couldn’t get re4 working, which like you said was gold. I’ll probably give it another shot soon. I’ve been playing a lot of FFXIV and apparently that runs well.

            I have an extra m2 slot I’m going to buy a drive dedicated to trying to get off the Microsoft teat.
