Yeah, Xbox ads popped up on my mom's laptop recently.
Fixed by removing the "Xbox" component that came with W11, wtf. Something else to remove by default

@gamingonlinux Raise your hand, if you never had kwallet (or similar) put a popup over a game. ;-)

BTW, would you like to enable the "Include public posts in search results" checkbox in your account privacy settings?

This will make it easier for your posts to be found across fediverse.

@gamingonlinux that's so scummy, windows can't stay the standard for much longer with this bullshit surely

@gamingonlinux ads like that would annoy me. Makes me glad I’m a Mac, Linux and PlayStation guy 🙃

Chris :python: :rstats: 🧪🎮

@gamingonlinux actually had something similar pop up on a work computer. Very professional #Microsoft

Hopefully suggested notifications stay off...

A popup notification advertising an Xbox game.

@gamingonlinux this tweet is very very true, I watched a streamer on Twitch and he also got this right in the middle of his game, and even read it aloud to us

At this point we should call it a DerangedSoft Windows, because they are clearly deranged if they think that abusing their customers like that is fine

How do I wish Linux didn't suck so we all could finally break this abusive relationship...

@gamingonlinux pov: You own a legitimate copy of Windows 11 and still get ads (you just paid to still be the product)

@gamingonlinux Oh wow. They are giving points now? They truly are desperate.

@gamingonlinux unfortunately, Bungie will ban you for trying to run Destiny 2 on Linux. Debatable tradeoff.

Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

@Wbud no, they won’t. Why do people still spread that?

The only people they banned were people who worked around their anti-cheat, which was a big well obviously and happened quite a long time ago.

They just don’t let Linux users in by default it’s blocked, no bans.

Wilhelm

@gamingonlinux Being banned is in their official documentation:

"Players who are not accessing Destiny 2 through Windows and attempt to bypass the SteamOS/Proton incompatibility will be met with a game ban."

@gamingonlinux I apologize, I incorrectly assumed that you understood my original reply to mean "try, troubleshoot, and successfully run."

Simply trying and failing does not get you banned, but I don't think there's an explicit warning about troubleshooting and successfully getting the game running causing a ban.

Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

@Wbud you can only successfully run it, by explicitly working around the anti-cheat - a ban would be obvious

@gamingonlinux Happy to see I'm not the only one, happened to me as well ! Does anyone have a good way to run Fusion 360 on Linux so I can finally let go of my Windows partition ?

@gamingonlinux
Yeah I had the same thing happen the other day. Popped up, lost control of my mouse, almost died. Great times. Good plan MS, really pushes me to invest in the MS ecosystem of bullshit.
