Don't do this. Either run unactivated or do it officially.

Better option is to run a Linux VM with Wine. As it turns out, Microsoft is very happy to let you pirate Windows because they want your data and to sell you One drive.

I run Linux with wine and if I make a Windows VM I’ll still use MAS and other tools to strip out Microsofts bloatwear. If you don’t like OneDrive so much then why even bother paying Microsoft for the trash heap that is Windows? There’s more than just OneDrive stealing your data.

If Microsoft really cared they’d pull a Nintendo and have GitHub nuke their repo.

It's even easier for them, since MS owns Github.

They want you to use Windows as they aren't dumb. They see competitors like Linux gaining popularity in the tech desktop space and they want to make it easy for tech savvy users to use Windows.

The fact that they don't care is really telling.
