Here's a KMS server emulator, all open source: https://github.com/Wind4/vlmcsd https://github.com/Wind4/vlmcsd
If you want to skip straight to the piracy, here's an open source package for you, complete with keys, hosted ironically on Microsoft servers, that uses vlmcsd: https://github.com/ekistece/vlmcsd-autokms https://github.com/ekistece/vlmcsd-autokms
It's a pretty clever hack. It runs the KMS emulator locally and fakes the network connection with a TAP device from OpenVPN. Works perfectly.
- michaelmrose 7y agoWhy not just run Linux
- r00fus 7y agoLikely games - which are probably also pirated.
- baot 7y agoIronically, the last time I needed Windows to run a game was because of Denuvo. I wouldn't have needed it if I'd pirated it.
- zsrxx 7y agoIt does not have Win32 or DirectX, for starters
- kelnos 7y agoSure it does: wine. Whether or not it works (and works performantly enough) for what any given person needs it for is another matter, of course.
- Draiken 7y agoHonestly I think it's sad how much the community still underestimates gaming. I tried using wine or even using Steam directly on Linux, but playing any game with 30-40% less performance is ridiculous. If you really like games, Linux is unusable for anything big. I've had to dual boot Windows for the last 10 years just to play a game without stuttering, lag, huge FPS drops, etc. Nothing would make me happier than being able to only use Linux, but until the community takes gaming seriously, people are forced to use Windows.
- Zardoz84 7y agowhat setup do you have ? Because I play on Linux and I don't appreciate any performance drop. For example, Stellaris and Doom fly's on my machine.
- Draiken 7y agoNVIDIA GTX960 with an i7 and 16 GB of memory. That's not the issue. I'd argue if it was the issue, even Windows wouldn't let me play any of these games with reasonable performance.
- michaelmrose 7y agoHere is the 64 dollar question. What GPU driver?
- Draiken 7y agoI have an NVIDIA GTX960. When playing CS:GO (a relatively old game) I have stuttering, drastic FPS drops and more :(
- michaelmrose 7y agoDo you use the nvidia driver or nouveau which is known to be crap.
