Also, it doesn't seem to be much more expensive than something like ExpressVPN, though that is pretty expensive at about $13 USD monthly. Way cheaper to buy yearly though. In comparison, Mullvad is a flat 5 Euro (about $5.20 - $5.40) per month. Other VPNs seem to be about $10-$13 per month.

I have not tried them, but always stayed away from them due to aggressive marketing that really put me off. there was a good year or two where I was bombarded with NordVPN ads and sponsors, and still get the occasional advert about them. It may be worth trying though, I have colleagues that use it.

ivpn looks nice, it looks like they are taking a similar approach/structure to account creation like mullvad does. I don't like the 7 device limit though, but it is still 2 more than mullvad.

+1 for GUI on linux.

VPN Recommendations? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I've been using Mullvad for the past few months. Have not had many issues with it aside from the 5 device limit and the removal of port forwarding. I'm currently looking at Private Internet Access as a potential replacement. It looks like it offers 10 device limit and port forwarding included with the price.

Anyone using PIA? How's the experience?

Edit: Probably should have mentioned, feel free to offer any other recommendations, I'm not attached to, or against any specific recommendations. I would like it to have a GUI available on Linux though if possible.

Edge in Linux is a crime against humanity.

Repent sinner 😂

I used to use TPB until I came across 1337x. It feels more modern and seems to have higher quality downloads, and more recent downloads.

Use the money you save pirating software and movies to pay for a vpn to pirate them with.

Man I know, I tried linux about 3-4 months ago and it is getting so much better. If I wasn't on an nvidia card I would probably be running fedora full time.

Yeah I'm not a fan of Microsoft's current implementation of widgets. I would just disable them entirely if possible.

I remember reading this. I found that hilarious

I don't think Microsoft cares since they shouldn't be making a lot of money from retail keys anyway. A majority of users get an activation key when they purchase their computer. And businesses use volume licensing. A small minority of people who pirate an activation key is not a lot of money lost in the big picture.

Also with the amount of telemetry going on in Win 11, the data they collect more than makes up for the slight loss in revenue.

It's not activated, if you need to activate it look up Microsoft Activation Scripts, should be a GitHub link

Edit: to properly answer your question, yes it should be clean and uncracked if you download through Rufus.

I've always used Rufus to download Windows ISOs. It should let you download the latest major Win 11 release. I just used it last week in fact to make a quick bootable USB at work to reimage a device with 11 on it.

TBF it was during the first few months of release. I want to believe that it was just early release related bugs.

I tried Win11 about 3 months after the initial release. That was a mistake.

Some of my wares of the seven seas did not run properly (like asassins creed valhalla), and there were performance issues when gaming. So I rolled back to Win 10.

Any fellow sailors out there daily driving 11? Have the big bugs been ironed out yet? Any glaring issues?
