Linux is easier to use than trying to registry hack your way into a local account.
I am a Linux user, I dual boot Kubuntu and Windows.
On Friday I bought a new game on steam, checked on protondb and it is platinum, tried to launch it and it failed. I tried 4 different proton compatability modes and it failed to launch each time. While I am a sysadmin and am well capable of troubleshooting it, I really just wanted to play that game so I rebooted into windows.
If I hadn’t had that other win11 SSD in my machine, I would have had to not play that game because I had no energy to troubleshoot that on a friday night after fighting with linux all day at work.
Tldr: some times Linux is a seemless as Windows, but not always, even when it is supposed to be and is for others. Even if you have that activate windows watermark.
Nah, these “hacks” are very easy. Easier than installing and learning even the most basic of Linux distros.
It’s true. You run one single command in cmd, then follow the prompts. It literally highlights what you probably want too, nevermind the guide online. Even Linux mint you still have to learn where stuff is and what it’s called. That’s not hard, by any means, but this is literally a single command and then you’re back to your routine.
One more reason never to install windows.
Windows has become too shitty to pay for. And now they do this.
Always has been.
Thanks
Instead of FIXING the problem.
Well, just in time for me to have activated my Windows 10 version so I’m good until 2032.
Never going to Windows 11, Microsoft, fuck you.

What is Windows?
Those things that let light in your home, car, bus, train ,etc
I did heard something about non-working airports etc. I think it’s better for people to get rid of this malicious software.
Hopefully they don’t brick my functionality.
they are just bricking their own functionality is all.
I use LTSC IoT for my consulting laptop. If Win were released this way normally, there wouldn’t be as many haters.
I still prefer my Årch box, this version of Windows is totally acceptable to me.
i guess M$ is just deprecating that whole gatherosstate thing because of Y2k38, not exactly targeting MAS. If they are they would’ve removed their github repo and patched the hwid glitch.
Ha! I’m good until 2032 so fuck you, Microsoft!
Assuming MS don’t eventually tweak the activation system to kill MAS altogether and deactivate pirated Enterprise/IoT and LTSC/LTSC IoT installs in the process.
They can do that but I’m sure there are workarounds. I just briefly did a google search on ‘Windows activation workarounds’ and I already see some methods and people talking of them.
So again, Microsoft can fuck themselves.
