Microsoft has made it clear that Windows 11 installation requires both a Microsoft account and active internet connectivity, and the company is systematically eliminating the simpler workarounds that previously allowed users to skip this requirement. While alternative methods remain available, they now demand significantly more technical expertise, specifically requiring users to modify the Windows installation image beforehand by configuring an unattended setup that includes a local account, a process that proves challenging for average users.
tech news are just shit lately, smh
Honestly, if you have used tech like in desktops long enough, you should already have Linux experience and hate Windows, like if you even have the slightest idea to modify your desktop, good luck with that on Windows, as instability occurs because Microsoft really wants you to use their shittier UI/UX.
Never underestimate Windows users ability to put up with garbage to justify not learning anything new.
They do edit registery files and do all sorts of painful workarounds but linux is too much apparently (for the sort of windows user I mentioned at least)
Look, I use Linux but I am not good at it. I do not like having to use the terminal, and I probably never will like it. But good God, editing text config files or using a terminal command to change a setting are both so much less painful than the bloody Windows Registry. I don’t necessarily like Linux. But I really hate Windows. So.
The things I have watched my mother put up with from her computer… yeah, checks out.
I don’t even like Linux that much, I just hate Windows a lot more.
