Microsoft has been trying very hard to phase out local accounts for a while now. It is impossible to install Windows without a Microsoft account unless you escape from the installer and run a series of commands in the terminal. It is approaching the "install Linux with ZFS as your root filesystem" user experience.

    Installing Linux is seriously easier than setting up Windows these days.

    If Microslop keeps going the way they're going, even a manual Arch install will be an easier task.

    A manual arch install may be complicated, but at least it's not actively trying to obstruct you

    Yep. At least Linux is complicated because it gives you near infinite options, not because it wants to prevent you doing what you want to do with it.

    I have so much more time to figure out how to do cool shit when I'm not busy trying to fix whatever Microslop breaks!

    I forgot they did this. Does it just hard stop if you don’t have any kind of network connection now?
