Microsoft wants to hide the 'Sign out' button in Windows 11 behind a Microsoft 365 ad
Microsoft wants to hide the 'Sign out' button in Windows 11 behind a Microsoft 365 ad
The latest Windows 11 preview build in the Beta Channel delivers a rather odd change to the Start menu. For some reason, the "Sign out" button is hidden behind a Microsoft 365 ad and other banners.

I tried building a Steam box with the bootleg version of SteamOS from the deck... Can't remember the name of the distro. Steam Games ran great for the most part, but getting Epic, EA and Ubisoft to work was a nightmare. If Linux can get that sorted, I'd never use Windows again.
You don't need the bootlegged version of SteamOS, there is ChimeraOS (GitHub).
Also Steam runs great on a lot of distros, I use
ArchMint btw. ;-)For Epic Games, GOG and Amazon you can use Heroic Games Launcher (GitHub).
Heroic is amazing. Rather than running the crappy Epic client via Wine, you just install this native piece of software that then launches each game via Wine/Proton/whatever else and pretty much just works every time, complete with things like EAC
So, literally every game I've bought on steam is playable on my Manjaro box.
Additionally, a recent KDE6 upgrade messed up my config and necessitated a full system reinstall. After remounting the partition where my steam games were installed on in the old sys, they....just worked. Even the ones that don't cloud sync, saved games all there, DLC all there.
I don't know how long reinstalling ~1TB of games would take on windows.... a lot? Pretty sure you have to fully reinstall them, not just "point steam to the drive where they live"
Frankly I just don't see why people tolerate windows anymore. It's just laughably bad.
I used to keep my steam games on a separate windows 10 partition and it worked exactly as you describe after a reinstall, it was all there. It’s still incredibly cool that this works on Linux and we get to use it as daily driver without being forced to dual boot for games. A windows installation still lingers on my desktop but it’s been years since I booted into it.
Like I wrote, Steam games were generally good, other storefronts, not so much.
Most EA and Ubisoft games I've played run fine on Deck. Just need to run the game in desktop mode first and then it boots in the Steam UI side of the OS just fine.
Yeah, it's definitely better now then it was before believe it or not. I honestly just avoid them at all cost even on windows. I hate games that ship their own launcher even though I bought it on steam
Bottles and Lutris would help in this case for you.
It didn't work before, maybe I'll try it again when I have the time.
Epic runs nice using Lutris 😃😃
I want able to get it to work unfortunately. This was a few years ago though.
Different now - works flawless with lutris
I have really tried getting epic to work, but both ea and Ubisoft launchers work quite well now through Lutris
Strange, was it recently?? My Epic install have been working for years (installed again a few times)
I just realized that I missed a word. I have not tried getting epic to work. Sorry for the confusion 😅
HOhOHOhoHOh no problem. Anything, just ask 😁
I run both the Epic Store as well as the EA App via Bottles, and I had both up and running in about ten minutes.
You can also install both launchers under Steam via Proton. The process is a little more involved, but far from difficult.
