Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • 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.
    • 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, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    • 5. ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง Language/ัะทั‹ะบ/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
    • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
    •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

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

    [โ€“] trespasser69@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (3 children)

    Can you actually pirate Windows LTSC?

    Is there any good guide?

    [โ€“] blaue_Fledermaus@mstdn.io 8 points 5 months 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.

    [โ€“] proceduralnightshade@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 months ago

    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 resellรฉrs have ok deals

    [โ€“] yonder@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago

    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.

    [โ€“] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 17 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    doesnโ€™t have Microsoft store

    That is not a drawback.

    [โ€“] Mwa@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago

    True, but some apps are distrubuted via msix

    [โ€“] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

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

    [โ€“] Mwa@lemm.ee 2 points 5 months ago

    Oh yeah I seen scripts that re-enable it
