I have a network-wide pi hole and I noticed that it requested activity.windows.com, a url blocked by my pi hole, even while my pc is suspended. I pinged 10.0.0.217 and it is currently unreachable. So, somehow, windows pc’s turn on networking, phones home, and turns off even while suspended.

And since Ive never bought the problematic games before it's so much easier for me.

I'd encourage anyone to ditch the crappy anticheat broken crap and just go back to playing good high quality games.

Exactly. If something only works on windows, its most likely not worth your time and money.

The exceptions I have seen are many CAD softwares and photo editing software (I use Affinity Photo)

Yeah and they all work on Linux.

The ones that don't can get fucked.
