how are these people real? oh maybe they arent
As an IT, I can confirm we have to use the terminal for some sketchy workarounds every time we install Windows just to skip the Microsoft account thing
Just add an autounattend.xml answers file in the iso before installing windows.
I use https://schneegans.de/windows/unattend-generator/
Recently I had to re-install and configure a bunch of software on 20ish machines.
All I had to type during the install was the hostname, and powershell scripts did the rest (granted, those powershell scripts contained all the bullshit to get windows to actually behave and work like a proper OS).
Uhhhh, are you not getting enterprise windows or whatever version is needed to be added to active directory?
I set up quite a few computers for my last job and I just had to click the thing saying I was adding the computer to a domain and then I skipped the microslop account.
Microslop does not want you to install Windows without a ~~telemetry identifier~~ Microslop account anymore. Not even Enterprise edition.
Lmao, lol even. Imagine not having a monolithic kernel. Imagine having a micro kernel where drivers need to be installed.
This sums up their knowledge in a single sentence, really. I wonder if they know they can build a computer and it won't "have" anything on it. Or that Apple computers exist.
It's not even PEOPLE there. It's one single sad dipshit with a goofy bone to pick.
To be fair, it was somewhat of a pain to get modded skyrim working on linux ten (fifteen? How old am I?) years ago, and everyone knows skyrim is the only game.
Yeah, I really want a Nexus Mod Manager for Linux. They were working on one that would be universal, but that was killed IIRC. I think they may have said they'll try to make the existing one work on Linux, but I can't remember.
It's possible to get Vortox to work on Linux, but it's a pain in the ass. You need to run in in the prefix, and I think it even needs to be installed there to manage things properly for some reason (I may be misremembering this). Some pieces of it will never work, so you'll always have warnings, which is annoying. Magnet links also don't work, and you have to copy/paste the link into the download mod thing. Overall, it's a pain in the ass, but it's still sadly the best option for many games. Most games I just do it manually at this point, but Skyrim needs a lot of mods for me to want to play it.
