Thereis literally no difference between Pro and Pro for workstations in terms of gaming. It might have a couple less apps out of the box, but that can be fixed in pro by five minutes in the start menu, or by powershell.

ReFS has too many limitations for me to use it normally. No hard links, no native compression, no page file, no quotas, no native encryption, no extended attributes, etc. The encryption can be worked around via using BitLocker, and junctions are available instead of hard links, and it is posible some of the other missing features have alternatives.


The check summing and integration with storage spaces is nice, but I would rather use BTRFS or ZFS for that sort of thing if posible. It also works well with Hyper-V vm images, so I might use it for that if the need ever arose.


Btw there is a workaround if you want to use ReFS on normal W10 Pro. You can create the storage spaces array and format it as ReFS in a windows version prior to them deprecating the feature. Saves you the expense of a pricier windows license if it matters.


I Hired someone familiar with Qubes and Whonix to walk me through installing Qubes in Windows. We got a couple errors along the way about no supported drives, hardware unsupported, etc. etc. They seemed to quickly give up on the idea of Qubes. And started suggesting Whonix only on windows But I read Qubes makes it safer And it seemed like a really neat concept, compartmentalizing workstations, and performing different tasks in different VMs.


You could also consider getting yourself a gaming keyboard. Some of these (for example, in the Logitech G series) come with physical switches to turn the Windows key on/off. It saves Alt-Tabbing out of the game to do this.


Hello,

So, I recently installed steam. And I had no problem in running games such as Dota 2 (even though it seems like Dota 2 is compatible with windows and MacOs only?). And now I want to buy a game called Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition. In the store, it seems like it is compatible with windows only? So would that not work in my computer? How does steam actually work in linux? Do you only play games that are compatible with linux or does any game that works in windows work in linux as well (like wine)?


Proton is a translation layer which is built upon the great work of WINE. If you want to learn more, i suggest you look at the ArchWiki, as it is probably going to be more accurate at explaining than me:


Games aren't going to work in all situations, but things have gotten generally better for Linux gaming in the last few years. However, games use different libraries, engines, renderers, and anti-cheat software, which is why some just won't work on Linux. I am not sure if "Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition" will work, it's a gold rating, but I would definitely read the comments on before I would decide to purchase it.


Not in general, no. However, there exists compatibility layers, like Proton, that help with running Windows games in Linux. They're a work-in-progress though, and fiddling may be involved on an application-by-application basis.


There are probably a bunch of you reading this regarding me as a technical dullard for not already being aware of this, but there are only so many things this simple brain of mine can hold in its stores at a time, and an exhaustive list of Windows shortcuts is not one of them. It actually only came to light recently while Jeremy was staring at his screen aghast at the most cursed Windows shortcut of them all and I went looking for useful ones to help soothe his pain.


Because the majority of current gaming monitors actually rated as HDR capable look like a bleach drenched horror show for the entire time you're running either on the Windows desktop, browsing the web, watching SDR videos, or when you're playing a game that doesn't have a HDR setting.


I'll go further and state that most gaming monitors rated as HDR capable are the almost-misleadingly-rubbish-with-high-dynamic-range-content DisplayHDR 400 screens. And that means they generally look dreadful both on the Windows desktop with HDR enabled and in games with HDR enabled. But there are some good HDR monitors out there, ones capable of higher peak luminance levels, that can deliver a great HDR experience even if the desktop one is still thoroughly and completely washed out.


I'm endlessly frustrated by the fact that you have to have a software-based on/off switch within Windows at all. I'm sure there are very good reasons why the PC is completely unable to simply enable HDR when it detects a game and screen hardware that supports it, but an intuitive experience it does not make.


It's a small thing, a simple tweak for an admittedly minor improvement in visual fidelity. But it means I am now using the actual capabilities of this expensive gaming monitor to its fullest, rather than ignoring them because I can't face digging through layers of settings screens to flick a software switch the OS ought to be smart enough to do itself.

I recently purchased an i9 Windows 11 OMEN gaming laptop, and I've been having issues with the system disabling my Windows key. I've searched all over the internet for ways to get this to stop happening, or to reactivate the button. Currently, any time I play any game, the windows key becomes disabled, and the only way I've been able to restore it functioning is by restarting the device, which is a major hassle. And it's not even something as simple as FN+F12, because it's not being disabled from there. I've even tried turning off Game Mode, but that doesn't seem to prevent the issue from reoccuring. I really need some assistance in trying to figure this out because it's driving me crazy and I JUST got this device last month, and it's been doing this. Does anyone know what is causing this, or the solution to prevent this from happening??


Is Windows 11 needed, or strongly suggested, for gaming on an i5 12600K and ARC A770? I have all of my components to build my system with Windows 10, but have seen it suggested that Windows 11 is needed. I didn't get Windows 11 because I'm not that informed on Windows 11, yet. I think I can upgrade to Windows 11 from 10 now, correct?


Once you have Windows 10 running on your computer and all OEM drivers (including Chipset Software) installed you can Upgrade to Windows 11 from Windows 10 with Windows 11 Installation Assistant for free.

Hi. For about a week or 2 I have been getting a new bug. My entire PC freezes when I alt-tab out of a game, specifically VALORANT but it happens with other games as well. Playing on windowed/windowed borderless doesn't help. I can still hear sounds and can even still be heard when in a discord call but the only way to unfreeze is to hit the power button and force restart. I hate having to do this every time I play because it is harmful to my PC. I've seem similar threads before about this issue coming up since the last few weeks none with a real fix. Is Microsoft aware of /looking into the the issue? I've heard it's an issue on windows 11 only hence why I posted here. I even tried to downgrade back to windows 10 but it states it's not possible on this computer anymore. Is there a fix coming?
