2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    For anyone who really can't leave Windows, you may find the less-bloated LTSC and activation here: https://massgrave.dev/

    Can you actually pirate Windows LTSC?

    Is there any good guide?

    [–] blaue_Fledermaus@mstdn.io 8 points 1 week ago

    It seems you can download the ISO directly from Microsoft, or from that site, and use their script to activate it.
    I haven't had the opportunity to test it yet, but seems "legit" to me.

    The guide is on the site they linked. It works, I did it a few times. They have to mirror the LTSC installation files unfortunately, but there's a guide on how to verify they're genuine if you don't trust them.

    i'm the pirate of the biggest seas but even i wouldn't pirate my os. if im gonna dual-boot, i will buy win10 2019 ltsc. it is survivable, key resellérs have ok deals

    Honestly, the way Massgrave works seems less sketchy than random keys from resellers. Massgrave is able to trick Microsoft into giving you a legit license key.

    Yeah I could use ltsc if I rlly needed windows for something, but it doesn't have Microsoft store and stuff but it's fine tho.

    doesn’t have Microsoft store

    That is not a drawback.

    [–] Mwa@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago

    True, but some apps are distrubuted via msix

    [–] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    You can re-enable microsoft store etc with a single line of powershell if you really need.

    [–] Mwa@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago

    Oh yeah I seen scripts that re-enable it
