my Mincraft Modrinth Mod launcher that has like 10 fps just in the menu

I'm pretty sure that there are ways to fix this, I don't know about your surround sound system, but I have seen countless guides for GSync. And for Modrinth, I would just switch to the FOSS Prism Launcher (it's even available on Windows, I use it on every platform when I want to play Minecraft), which allows you to download mods and modpacks from Modrinth, Curseforge and other sources. It's just a better user experience than with the official Launcher, Curseforge or the Modrinth app. I highly recommend it.

Then let’s also fix all the DRM issues with Netflix and Prime.

Piracy is one way to get around these !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Genuinely curious, but how do you deal with issues on Windows? Things like ads in the start menu, constant tracking, bloatware that is automatically reinstalled after an update, the Microsoft account requirement, etc.? Do these things just not bother you, or do you take the time to deal with these issues? When Windows 11 came out, I wanted to try it out, installed it on my secondary SSD, removed all the bloatware (including Microsoft edge), did one Windows update and everything came back. I was so pissed about this, that I immediately wiped the SSD, and I haven't touched Windows ever since.
