  • I just spent like 2 days getting my PC exactly how I like it using a grey market Pro key, so I’ll try and remember it for next time.

    However, I prefer to have a properly licensed PC and certain indispensable software because having the rug pulled out from under me when I’m busy is too much of a risk. I need my PC to be as reliable as possible if it’s gonna be a piece of music gear on stage. I can’t afford to have some “you need to activate” window pop up while I’m trying to perform.

    If I need a zero bloat, zero telemetry device, I’ll just boot to the Linux partition.





  • Trying to reinstall a clean copy of windows 11 pro on my new laptop. I cannot BELIEVE how bad of an experience this is in 2024.

    Windows installation media creation tool took forever and THE RESULT WASNT EVEN BOOTABLE

    Running setup from the non bootable drive took forever and to make it worse, it asks questions between interminable “checking for updates” waits. And it wouldn’t even let me choose an edition of windows. It defaulted to home even though I have a pro key and wouldn’t let me change it. I guess because I currently have windows 11 home edition.

    But like, why not just ask? (It’s so the only way to upgrade is through the windows store, I bet).

    The fact that Microsoft still can’t do better than Linux in current year is insane to me.
