I find this mildly infuriating, I only use Windows for work, I even personally purchased Windows 11. Local account and disabled as much as I could. I personally do not like Windows or Windows in general.

Well, now I do an update and they throw this up like I need to walk thru these steps (again). Not even a "Skip"/"Don't remind me again". Windows is not what it used to be and after disabling half the Microsoft stuff I'd expect not to be bothered again. It's really a built in ad more then anything.

Vast majority of games work just fine on linux, can't say for launchbox (looks like just a game launcher, if so, you can use Steam Big Picture mode, even for non-steam games, emulators etc.)

Visual Studio does not work, but if you're a C# developer, there are cross-platform alternatives like VSCode and Rider.

Note: probably don't use Ubuntu if you're trying to escape a corproation dictacting how to use your computer though

Honestly I'd probably just run Debian. All the hardware on my desktop PC is a few years old now so I'm not too worried about compatibility issues. I've heard that Linux Mint is good too?

I'm considering trying Rider. I really like ReSharper and know that a lot of its refactorings are included in Rider too.

VS Code is great too. For personal projects, I actually use VS Code and Visual Studio at the same time - VS Code for frontend JS, and Visual Studio for backend C#.

can’t say for launchbox (looks like just a game launcher, if so, you can use Steam Big Picture mode, even for non-steam games, emulators etc.)

I have a bunch of games in it, for example the whole library of NES, SNES, Sega Mega Drive, etc. games. It's a nice interface for launching them. Maybe there's an equivalent that runs on Linux, otherwise I could add just the emulators to Steam.

There's also RetroArch, though can be a little pain to setup.
