Yes, I have looked in the megathread. Specifically under the sections “All Purpose”, “Tools”, and “Software”… however, I didn’t find any general, all purpose websites for cracked software. Or at least, the megathread never had something in it that said “great website for cracked software”.

Thanks in advance. :)

    Why don’t you simply use open source software solutions. I find this software to be of greater quality and better than closed source software. You can find open source to pretty much everything nowadays.

      Open source software generally has a terrible UI/UX. It’s designed by nerd for nerds which is great if that’s you, but most people aren’t so it sucks.

      And a lot of the time any attempts to improve it will get rejected because it’s a small team who works on it, and it’s exactly the way they want it. Since they don’t have to market the software there’s no incentive to make it good.

        This is the biggest bullshit I have ever heard in my life.

        You sound exactly like someone who would use Slobs instead of OBS.

        That’s not really the case for the majority with some exceptions of course. So which open source software has the worst UI/UX without any alternative?

      You’d find the opposite of you use what I use. Open source alternatives to every piece of software that keeps me on windows kind of blows in comparison.

          AutoCAD and Ableton are my two most-used pieces of software. There are no FOSS alternatives that get anywhere close

            FreeCAD or Libre CAD, and LMMS are options, but not sure how feature rich they are.

              Trust me…I’d kill to get Autodesk and their always-online DRM off my PC…but those are not alternatives. I do CAD professionally with established standards and LISP routines. I’d have to learn a new programming language to even consider switching
