Comment on Microsoft kills official way to activate windows without internet

This alone is enough for me, to consider Windows a bad choise.
I’ve said that line so many times.
I would note that every single time I’ve tried to reactivate windows after a mobo or CPU upgrade, it has failed.
I guess it’s supposed to work better if you sign into your Microsoft account ever, which I don’t, because I see literally no reason they would need me to expect to advance spyware and adware.
The phone activation is the only thing that has worked. Good thing I’ve been dual booting a Ubuntu fork for the past six months. I guess after my next hardware upgrade I’ll be Linux only.
Who wants a computer which might not work after an upgrade and not because there’s an actual problem but because a corporation says no? It’s more stress and more work out of nowhere. Corporations should never be allowed to brick devices, but since they are, I choose “not corporation” as my permanent fix. It’s a good move!
I‘ll stay with 10 until I figured out Bitwig.
What’s your current DAW of choice?
Yes it’s Ableton, will try it out.
I think Bitwig was made by former Ableton employees, so it has a very similar workflow. It’s by far my favorite DAW, although nowadays, I’m trying to use Zrythm since I want to use as much open source software as possible.
Bitwig on Linux is amazing and was the final thing which let me ditch Windows for good after years of using Linux for everything else.
You won’t regret it!

It’s a list of general bullet points, each with 100-1000 sub-items…
