    If you don’t want a Microsoft account, at this point you should really consider switching to Linux.

      I have a Microsoft account for my Xbox and for certifications but I have zero intention of ever using it to login to Windows.

        Try a little Proton. There’s also Lutris. There hasn’t been a game I own that I haven’t been able to play on Linux.

          Unfortunately, two of my most played games (R6:Siege and Cod MW2) can’t run on linux, and last time I checked Visual Studio also.

          Proton is amazing as long as you don’t get bit by anticheat, which thankfully is getting better.

          Thankfully I don’t play many games with anticheat so almost the entirety of my game library runs on my Linux install.

        Yeah, that sucks. I’m not much of a gamer myself. I know there are workarounds, but I probably would stay with Windows for games too if that was the case.
