How To Enable Activate Linux Watermark Notification In Linux Desktop
======
The "Activate Windows" Watermark is ported to Linux.
In an attempt to stop piracy of Windows OS, the Microsoft developer team has come up with an idea to place a watermark in the corner until the users legally purchase a license and activate the Windows OS.
If you're running a pirated Windows copy in your system, you should have noticed the "Activate Windows" watermark notification in the lower bottom corner as shown in the below screenshot.
![Activate Windows Notification][1]
Fortunately, the Linux users will never get such notifications. Because GNU/Linux is an entirely free, open source operating system, released under the GNU General Public License (GPL).
Anyone can run, study, modify, and redistribute the Linux source code, or even sell copies of their modified code, as long as they do so under the same license.
Since Linux is open source, there is nothing you can do with Linux really, that you can't do with proprietary operating systems.
There are a whole of things you can do in Linux. Be it a fun project or an enterprise-grade application, you can build and run *almost* anything under Linux. Even it is possible to add the "Activate Linux" watermark as well.
### What Is Activate Linux?
A few days ago I came across a fun project called "Activate Linux". It is very similar to "Activate Windows" notification that you see in a non-licensed Windows OS.
The developer of Activate Linux has recreated the "Activate Windows" notification watermark for Linux with with Xlib and cairo in C.
This will show a watermark on your Linux desktop and notify you to go to settings to activate your Linux distribution! Cool, yeah?
### Enable Activate Linux Watermark
The activate-linux project became very popular in a short period of time. It has already been packaged for popular Linux distributions such as Arch Linux, openSUSE and Ubuntu within a few days.
#### Arch Linux
Activate-linux is available in **[AUR][2]**. So you can install activate-linux app in Arch Linux and its variants EndeavourOS and Manjaro Linux using **[Paru][3]** or **[Yay][4]**.
```
$ paru -S activate-linux
```
Or,
```
$ yay -S activate-linux
```
#### openSUSE
Activate-linux is available in **[OBS][5]**.
If you use openSUSE Tumbleweed edition, run the following commands one by one to install activate-linux:
```
$ sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:WoMspace/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/home:WoMspace.repo
```
```
$ sudo zypper refresh
```
```
$ sudo zypper install activate-linux
```
For openSUSE Factory ARM, run the following:
```
$ sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:WoMspace/openSUSE_Factory_ARM/home:WoMspace.repo
```
```
$ sudo zypper refresh
```
```
$ sudo zypper install activate-linux
```
#### Ubuntu
Activate-linux has a PPA for Ubuntu and its derivatives like Pop!_OS.
```
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:edd/misc
```
```
$ sudo apt update
```
```
$ sudo apt install activate-linux
```
Once installed, simply run it from the Terminal using command:
```
$ activate-linux
```
You will now see the "Activate Linux" watermark notification in the corner of the desktop just like in a non-licensed Windows copy.
![Activate Linux Watermark In Desktop][6]
Don't be alarmed! It is harmless. To get rid of this notification, go back to the terminal and kill the activate-linux command by pressing **CTRL+C**.
I tested this on Ubuntu 22.04 GNOME edition. It works out of the box in Wayland.
Activate Linux is a one of the pretty funny as well as useless project ever I have come across in a while. I guess it is going to make every Windows switcher feel so much more comfortable!!

如何在 Linux 桌面中启用 “激活 Linux” 水印通知
======
“激活 Windows” 水印已移植到 Linux。
为了阻止 Windows 操作系统的盗版行为,微软开发团队想出了一个办法:在 Windows 的角落放置一个激活水印,直到用户合法购买许可证并激活它。
如果你的电脑正在运行盗版的 Windows 副本,你应该已经注意到右下角的 “激活 Windows” 水印通知,如下图所示。
![“激活 Windows” 通知][1]
幸运的是Linux 用户永远不会收到这样的通知。因为 GNU/Linux 是一个完全免费的开源操作系统,在 GNU 通用公共许可证 (GPL) 下发布。
任何人都可以运行、研究、修改和重新分发 Linux 源代码,甚至可以出售修改后的代码的副本,只要使用相同的许可即可。
to 老王:我感觉这句话很奇怪……)
Linux 是开源的,所以你真的可以用 Linux 做任何事情,而你不能用专有操作系统做任何事情。
你可以在 Linux 中做很多事情。你可以在 Linux 下构建和运行*几乎*任何东西,无论是有趣的项目还是企业级应用程序。甚至,你还可以添加 “激活 Linux” 水印。
### “激活 Linux” 是什么?
几天前,我注意到了一个叫做 “激活 Linux” 的有趣项目。它和你在未经许可的 Windows 操作系统中看到的 “激活 Windows” 通知非常相似。
“激活 Linux” 的开发者使用 C 语言中的 Xlib 和 cairo重新创建了 Linux 版的 “激活 Windows” 通知水印。
它会在你的 Linux 桌面上显示一个水印,并通知你进入设置以激活你的 Linux 发行版!这很酷,不是吗?
### 启用 “激活 Linux” 水印
activate-linux 项目在短时间内变得非常流行。几天之内,它已经为许多流行的 Linux 发行版而打了包,例如 Arch Linux、openSUSE 和 Ubuntu。
#### Arch Linux
[AUR][2] 已经收录 Activate-linux。因此你可以使用 [Paru][3] 或 [Yay][4] 在 Arch Linux 及其衍生版 EndeavourOS 和 Manjaro Linux 中安装 activate-linux 应用程序。
```
$ paru -S activate-linux
```
或者
```
$ yay -S activate-linux
```
#### openSUSE
[OBS][5] 收录了 Activate-linux。
如果你正在使用 openSUSE Tumbleweed 版本,请逐条运行下面的命令来安装 activate-linux
```
$ sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:WoMspace/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/home:WoMspace.repo
```
```
$ sudo zypper refresh
```
```
$ sudo zypper install activate-linux
```
For openSUSE Factory ARM, run the following:
```
$ sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:WoMspace/openSUSE_Factory_ARM/home:WoMspace.repo
```
```
$ sudo zypper refresh
```
```
$ sudo zypper install activate-linux
```
#### Ubuntu
Activate-linux 有一个适用于 Ubuntu 及其衍生版(如 Pop!_OS的 PPA。
```
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:edd/misc
```
```
$ sudo apt update
```
```
$ sudo apt install activate-linux
```
安装完成后,只需在终端执行下面的命令,就可以让它运行起来:
```
$ activate-linux
```
现在,你将在桌面的角落看到 “激活 Linux” 水印通知,就像在未授权的 Windows 副本中一样。
![桌面上的 “激活 Linux” 水印][6]
别紧张!它是无害的。若想取消显示,你可以返回终端并按 **CTRL+C** 终止 activate-linux 命令。
我在 Ubuntu 22.04 GNOME 版本上测试了一下。它在 Wayland 中开箱即用。
“激活 Linux” 是我这一段时间以来遇到的一个非常有趣又无用的项目。我想这会让每个刚从 Windows 切换过来的 Linux 用户,拥有更加舒适的体验吧!
