Microsoft is blocking Windows Customization Tools
Microsoft is blocking Windows Customization Tools
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
You're viewing a single thread.
One reason not to switch to linux: I want to play PCVR with my Quest 2. It has a really bad stutter when moving around using the only tool that works: ALVR, and this makes VR unplayable. I have not found an actual solution, just a handful of speculative issues threads that go silent as to what is the answer if any.
User won't switch to Linux because of lack of software support, company won't support Linux because of lack of user, such a vicious circle
The solution is to probably not use the Quest 2. And that's a pretty crappy solution.
But VR on Linux sucks in general, so if you really need VR, it's probably best to stick with Windows. I really hope things improve because I'd really like to play with VR, but I'm unwilling to use Windows or make a Meta account, so I'm sitting on the sidelines until a reasonably affordable headset ($500-ish) with reasonably good app support on Linux is available.
Laughs loudly in perfectly working steam index on Linux.
Perfectly?
What games or experiences do you play? I'm basically in VRChat all day with OVR and XSOverlay.
I'm eager to know what workarounds you needed to do in order to get "perfect working order"
The only issue I seem to have is when one of the frequent Nvidia drivers is updated I need to re-run flatpak update to pull updates manually, and occasionally I have to disconnect and reconnect the display cable or I get a hardware address issue. That's it. Oh and the beacons don't properly sleep/wake in Linux they just stay on.
I usually play
- super hot
- beat saber
- moss
- Alyx
- google earth
- redout
- star wars squadrons
Never tried VR chat. I use VR and games to get away from people not closer 😂
I'm sure there are pain points I'm glossing over, controller config I remember can be a pain, as most aren't developed with index in mind. In my mind these are artefacts of adopting any new technology before it's form factor is standardized and ubiquitous.
So "perfectly" for me, now that I've come to know what it's prerequisites are.
Oh I have to do this, oh I have to do that. Doesn't sound perfectly to me 🤣
You're absolutely right. You should 100% stay on windows, where it all works the very first time and forevermore! I never see anyone posting about issues with that OS! Enjoy!
Delusional. You Linux fanboys are something else.
Pico 4, though instead of Meta it's the Chinese
I didn't get my headset new, I got it on ebay for cheap. I also made a Meta account specifically for the Quest and nothing else.
ALVR works on Linux with Quest 2, BeatSaber works fine, dont know much about other games.
Yeah you should stay on windows and never check out Linux. Hopefully ques too is great.
