I have a network-wide pi hole and I noticed that it requested activity.windows.com, a url blocked by my pi hole, even while my pc is suspended. I pinged 10.0.0.217 and it is currently unreachable. So, somehow, windows pc’s turn on networking, phones home, and turns off even while suspended.

Creepy behavior

    Sorry for the rant but why the hell people still entertain themselves with proprietary Windows games in 2023?!? So much so that they are willing to put up with such utter rubbish of an OS? Man, just play better games, even FOSS ones, on Linux! The proprietary rubbish pay-to-win games should be shunned!

      You can’t play VR on linux without significant pain and most VR games are from small devs who don’t do unethical stuff like pay-to-win.

        There’s tons of SteamVR for Linux fixes flowing in right now. Assuming Valve doesn’t break anything, the setup on AMD cards with KDE is now just:

        • Set GPU to VR performance mode
        • Install SteamVR
        • Disable async reprojection
        • Start SteamVR
