finally switched from Win10 to full time EndeavourOS KDE/Plasma and havent looked back.
got sick of my OS customization getting reset after every unstoppable auto update. oh, and the ads. the constantly changing ui shenanigans.
i kept TPM 2 turned off to prevent Win11 from metastasizing its way onto the machine, but the straw that broke the camel's back is that Win10 totally fucked up my dual boot setup after an OS auto-update.
btw, i used to roll my own winxp isos with sysprep and regedits baked in. all of that is impossible now without the unobtanium that's Windows LTSC.
(my hardware/usage is recent AMD thinkpad, time is spent mostly in browser, vscode, mpv, krita, darktable, terminal)
i do miss the Affinity products tho, they keep making them more Windows/MacOS-only, now relying on the windows store/msix installer, basically guaranteeing they'll never work with Wine/Proton :(

I saw this yesterday, it may be helpful, but there may also be dragons:

holy moly, thanks for this. gonna try it soon.
wonder why Winetricks exists, shouldnt it be upstreamed?
i guess maybe the same reason Proton exists? maybe Proton has the same fixes and i can just use a compiled version of that without having to recompile Wine? :thinking_face:
