From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Hide virtualisation from virtual machine (lemmy.world)

Title sounds confusing and It might be wrong terminology, sorry about that. I have POP OS and windows in VM (virtualbox) for few apps that are not available on linux. Im trying to install one app that requires diferent activation method because it recognized Im running virtual machine. Is there any way to hide that so I can activate the app the way I usually do on non-VM windows?

I hope I was clear enough, cheers

I don’t know, I got my installation back in 2016. Tbh, I was looking for another installation, but all I got looks the same. I can signup on rutracker if that is solution, but is it? do you know?

I don’t know is it allowed to talk about piracy here? :D Please warn me if its not.

First of all, I own a SW2016 license and that's why I’m trying to install the same version on another PC. I’m willing to switch version if needed, cant go back to dual boot windows anymore :D Some people obviously successfully masked virtualization. There are examples, but I couldn't figure out myself:

example 1: For Windows VirtualBox virtual machine use "hidevm.bat"

example 2: SolidWorks_Spoof.sh

example 3: link

I was hoping I just need to modify my virtualbox on linux, but seems like its much more complex. I'm still reading and doing my best, but I'm not even sure are guides made for host OS or guest OS
