Your data is worth a lot more to microsoft than the license fee.

Microsoft support uses it even if they aren’t supposed to officially

You know what’s even funnier? There’s even an official mirror on Azure DevOps. https://dev.azure.com/massgrave/_git/Microsoft-Activation-Scripts

That script is a lifesaver! 😅I’ve used it countless times. Usually, GitHub takes them down, but this one managed to survive.
10 monthsA VM is going to incur a pretty big performance loss. From what I’ve read, Soulframe works just fine with Proton. Either Lutris or the Linux Steam client should work for running it.
Aye, Soulframe works flawlessly via Lutris. It runs on the same engine as Warframe and performs as well really. Been playing Soulframe for months on SUSE.

+1 for proton, though I think modern VM tech very little overhead these days.

OP can also do GPU passtrought to huuugely negate the performance loss, but it is a rather complex process.
For 2d platformers, the virtio GPU with 3d acceleration might be OK.

Do you even need to activate it? It’s not like it will do anything other than nag you

Click “I don’t have a product key” during install. Then use MAS to activate after the install.

Or click on “I don’t have a product key” during install
Btw gaming in a VM, unless it’s a extremely old game (30+ years ago), or you have a second, dedicated GPU that you can passthrough, it’s going to give disappointing results

If that game can run on a VM, pretty sure you can play it even though you have activate Windows watermark.
Why would you need that?
If the watermark doesnt bother you, I wouldnt even bother.- lilpatchy2eyes@slrpnk.netEnglish10 months
I’m not playing. My computer runs Ubuntu and I can’t get decent performance with Lutris.
Hmm… I’d try running it through Steam.
I feel like I’ve generally had better results with Steam than Lutris.
