Who said you gonna BUY a license?

If it’s using dockur/windows it has a pre registered ime.

So now suddenly us lemmy linux tech nerds forgot about mass...🙄.

Unless that isn't possible to run, then correct me pls

Because I use a paid graphics suite for profit (Affinity, great and pretty decent payment model), and I'm OK-ish with paying (a fair price) for stuff that allows me to make money, but I'd rather live in Linux for most everything else.

I currently use Affinity mostly in a VM, and dual boot for some very specific things, but this seems to be a way to make the experience better.

Also, a lot of people have paid for a license when buying their computer. I'm OK with people sidestepping the strict licensing terms if they have paid for it.

It's not "you have pirated it", but "you aren't using it exactly as we want you to"

Because windows is really bad for work, I would want my kde multidesktop multiscreen setup while I earn money spending time in visual studio.

it runs a real copy of Windows
then just run windows

umm, running windows in a container is still running windows so . . . . you would still just be running windows
