Had to change the access policy for the windows update file so windows would stop trying to download 11 on my last windows box. Every now and then it still tries to update and shits itself because it's not allowed.
Why not just turn off TPM in the BIOS?
My TPM is off, it still bugs me about updating to windows 11. Thats okay I've been dual booting bazzite and really only use windows for a couple of games that I havent figured out how to get running yet
Out of curiosity, what games? I'm not going to throw unsolicited advice at you — I'm just wondering because all of my games have been astoundingly easy to get working on Linux.
The big one that I can't get to work is Star Citizen (I know, I know) but there's a some Steam games like Deep Rock Galactic (might be the fact that its multiplayer) that just immediately crash or only run a few minutes then crash like Avowed (may just be avowed doing avowed things)
I play both Star Citizen and DRG without any issues on Linux (I use Arch btw).
For Star Citizen you need to run the installer through a compatibility layer like Lutris, but then it should install and work fine (though I haven't played in about half a year, so more recent changes may have broken things). For DRG, I just installed through Steam. I don't even think I'm using GE or anything and just running it native.
That makes sense. Although for what it's worth, I don't recall having any problems with Deep Rock Galactic, so whatever issues you had with that may be specific to your particular set up
It might have made the check for eligibility before you managed to turn it off. I guess relying on Bazzite is the correct option.
