In the latest Windows 11 preview build, Microsoft removed the “bypassnro” command, which let users skip signing into a Microsoft Account when installing Windows.

Thank you! I had no idea that this existed. This is a solution for me personally, but also a solution for our clusterfuck IT people at work that do not understand that we have hundreds of millions of dollars in contracts that need to be fulfilled with software that costs us $12 per day to use and probably wont run on windows 11, instead of breaking everything and migrating it to a software that costs us $32 a day to use but will work on windows 11.
Let me know how that goes!
I used the 21H2 Enterprise IoT version, for personal use, i can't share openly how i obtained it.
Here are the versions of W10 and their extended support dates.

Upgrading from W10 to W10 Enterprise IoT was as simple as a few clicks, no need to reinstall.

Apple does this.
Microsoft is now doing this.
I wonder how long until Google start doing it with Android
This future is so fucking dystopian
The future is bright on Linux

You also would not have access to your password manager when logging into your OS, would you?
Your new account will be online. Can access OneDrive and everything Microsoft Online offers. That means anyone with internet access can try to login to it so it has to be very secure.
Windows Hello can be used for local login. But I agree with you. I would love to be able to access my Keepassxc vault during the login process. But that might be hard to archive so better to use Windows Hello.

So happy that I switched to linux. Microsoft has been one of the main forces of enshitification of the world. Fuck em. I cant play a bunch of games with my friends anymore, and I have to learn a few new CAD programs, which is like 10 thousand hours of work that I am flushing down the toilet. Worth it.

What is hdr and why do people care about it?
Simplest explanation is HDR enables more color bits per pixel so you have much higher contrast in bright and dark images. It's pretty much essential if you are using OLED panels as these can turn off pixels for a realistic/not washed out black.

Sadly, no linux phones that are actually usable.

Interesting, thanks. I just assumed monitors themselves handle that.

More and more people just need to switch to Linux and grow the userbase so more and more proprietary software create Linux builds just like how Maya and Davinci Resolve are available for Linux. If your computer is a web browser, you should be on Linux. Firefox, Chrome, Edge are all on Linux
If you're a casual photo editor, Darktable. A casual photo editor can probably be well served with GIMP or Krita. If you're a web browser and digital painter Krita. If you edit videos, Davinci Resolve and Kdenlive. Office - OnlyOffice, Libre office, WPS Office

Amen. Not a non-Android one, at least.

Biometrics are not more secure than a good password.

LightPhone is your best bet for a Linux phone if anyone is interested.

That is nice, but I need the Google Play Services for push notifications on the messaging app that everyone in my country uses. It's sad, I know. If it weren't for that I wouldn't log in to a Google account on my Android phone either.
You don't need to log in to google for any of what you listed to work with google play services.

Yeah, its fucking absurd. Closest option is probably a fairphone right now. They allow a bunch of degoglified options of android and a few linux options too.
My mobile OS of choice is currently Lineageos for Microg. Makes all my apps work and protects me from google as good as possible.

I will just have to sign it up to a domain then add a local user using the command prompt. Still a lot more trouble than installing it should be but I will not give in to this garbage push to make everyone have a microsoft account. I disable the store and all of it on every PC I install.

I will copypaste your comment next time people complain linux is hard to learn.
if someone says linux is hard to learn, that person isn't making regestry edits.
That said, windows used to be intuitive, but they peaked with xp and it's been a downhill slide since.

I have e os based on murena. At least there they try their best to replace the google play services. If you have an old phone somewhere that does not get updates anymore you could safely try it out

Fix:
open this site: https://schneegans.de/windows/unattend-generator/
check your options that you like
download your xml
download win 11 iso
put on stick with the downloaded xml file
install win 11

I've had issues with the installer from 24H2 for my unattended. I had to use the previous versions installer and installed the 24H2 ISO.
