Too many sweats

Thanks, I’ve updated my comment with that link instead.

EDIT: I linked a different site before, but it now seems suspect. For what it’s worth, I checked the filehash of the apk from both sites and they matched.

sketchy third party apps

I was replying mostly about the “sketchy” comment. The apps I mentioned are open source, and are among the most popular programs for anyone customizing Windows - maybe even top 5.

If you’re not a Windows user, then yeah, why would you personally need to know of them? Much like the average Windows user would not be able to even tell you what ls and cat are for. Doesn’t make those tools any less valid.

To be fair, you can use just a couple open source tools like ExplorerPatcher and Open-Shell to vastly improve the UX.

I’d actually say it’s easier to get a modern environment in Windows 11 as it natively has a tabbed file manager and terminal.

I say this as someone who has to use Windows, versus wanting to use Windows.

ExplorerPatcher + Open-Shell = ❤️

At first I thought this was about stopping “killing games”, e.g. Call of Doody.

The Steam Deck is already a couple of years old, so it’s not that hard to do. This thing has better specs across the board, with even the base model having twice the cores and threads as the Deck.

It gives a full android environment, just sideload whatever apk you need.

Have you tried Waydroid?
