It's for my mother, who so far cannot stand LibreOffice.

You could tell your mom the real price of MS office. She might suddenly stand LibreOffice just fine.

While I personally love LibreOffice, I get why your mom might not. It's super easy:

  1. Download and install Office
  2. run irm https://massgrave.dev/get | iex in Powershell and follow the instructions
  3. Profit!

What doesn't she like about LibreOffice, out of curiosity? It's easy to make the layout like Office (View > User Interface > Tabbed) if that's her problem - I felt the exact same way, but the second I found out I could do that, I never went back.

What's this do? Been linux only for like 12 years and don't keep up with office

Massgrave is a tool that can create legit (oem) keys for windows and office out of thin air*

  • it’s not literally creating them from nothing, it’s using a system Ms themselves run to get working keys. Evidently they don’t have a huge problem with it.

Turns out the powershell step is enough to get 97% of users to shell out cash.

And also, the biggest source of revenue is institutions who either will pay for the enterprise license, or can be sued for a good payday if they try to pirate.

I don't even understand why, it literally easier to crack, no need for an account

It literally easier to crack

It is not easier for almost every human on the planet.
