It’s time to switch to Linux! Because it’s free as in freedom.

    You don’t have to pirate it, you just download it off their website and don’t activate it. It’ll work, but you can’t change your desktop background.

      And you get an annoying watermark. And an even more annoying operating system, so it’s not really worth it.

      I reset my BIOS and I guess it forgot my windows key, googled it and ran a single command in powershell (found on GitHub a microsoft owned platform) it instantly activated. I don’t understand why people pay for it, it was literally so easy to get around it.
      I hear “oh go to a key reselling website you can get it for like $15” and it feels like how I imagine taking damage in Minecraft is lmao

      That’s basically pirating it but worse lol. You still are violating the license but also get an annoying watermark.
