Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Win is one of the most windows things that could happen. You just press some keys that should do nothing and boom, microsoft ad. I hope the EU version of windows will be stripped of that crap.

My personal machines are all on linux already. But unfortunately my work laptop isn't and won't be unless I find a different job.

VM gaming was a lot easier to setup than I expected. Anything is possible with the Arch Wiki! Some anticheats will block you though, so super competitive games like Counterstrike or Apex Legends are out
