I’ve recently switched to Linux (Debian Bookworm) because I was tired of all the bullshits I had to deal with when using Windows, especially when developing software.
Now I really have to use MS Office applications for my school. Libreoffice is good but not completely compatible with MSOffice, like I can’t use the log graph in the template provided. And their web apps are nearly unusable (especially with Firefox and its variants) , so I need desktop versions.
I can use VM maybe but I don’t want to pay for the Windows license.
How do you guys manage to open MS files appropriately?
If this is your only concern, there’s a script floating arround on github (MAS 104k *) that activate any Windows version.
Not sure I’m allowed to send any links because this could be considerate as piracy and probably isn’t allowed in this community.
But you have enough keywords to find your way with any search engine if that’s a route you would consider.
Microsoft published that script to Github.
Calling it piracy to use their openly published script is… I don’t know, incorrect?
Wait, what? I’m out of the loop here. Microsoft published a free activator? What’s the catch?
Didn’t knew that ! :/ I’m sure that wasn’t the case in the past (It was only called KMS at the time).
This is also why it still up and running on GitHub?
Edit: After a quick research I couldn’t find any info, do you have any reputable link to back your claims?
Edit2:
Where can I donate? MAS project doesn’t accept donations and it’s free. It’s because it’s a community project and involves many contributors, splitting donations is not practical, and also because profiting from piracy is not good.
