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

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

Sadly, no linux phones that are actually usable.
Amen. Not a non-Android one, at least.

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.
Biometrics are not more secure than a good password.

Doesn't that remind anyone of this other NRO? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Reconnaissance_Office

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
profit
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.

Are people shocked that windows keeps removing things that allow the os to be usable and debloated?
Copilot recording your screen will be a non optional feature before win11 is over.

Not wanting to seem like a windows fanboi in the slightest, but.. I guess they're saying that if you log in to your windows box using their cloud authentication, then they can better protect your account, force regular password changes, force password complexity requirements.. and because they're in a position to see all auth attempts against that account, they can react to attacks.. having said that. a lot of those advantages go away if you're not actually connected to the internet.. but then, you also lose automatic updates.. it's a difficult question.. I can see how it could be better for a non computer-savvy user to log in using a microsoft account, but that also makes is worse and more frustrating for advanced users who don't want to touch microsoft's cloud at all. I guess they made the decision based on what was better for the majority of users.
Thank you
Y’all is this true:
No one would accidentally enter the special anti-spyware command so they’re screwing the 1% who are privacy hawks without benefiting the 99% who were already dark patterned into online accounts.

Fairphone works in Europe, but in the US, for example, only Tmobile allows fairphones, the other carriers, while there nothing technological that prevents them fron working, the carriers being being really shit about it. And Tmovile could also become hostile with a flip of a switch. So yea, that's a huge issue, unless you want a wifi-only device.
I fear in the future, devices will be more strictly locked down because of "terrorism" "scams" "fraud" or "criminial activity" that allows the authorities, worldwide, to control devices even more. Perhaps, computers could also face such lockdowns.
I mean, look at drones. One harmless crash on the US whitehouse lawn triggered a lot of laws restricting them, inclusing the infamous DJI Geo-locking. One terrorisr using encrypted messaging apps to coordinate would allow governments to controll our communications.
The future looks bleak. It's not even like 1984, the reality of dystopia is more subtle. People are being stalked by the government, while there are parties are happening all around, that is what dystopia looks like.
China turned QR codes red to restrict people's movements on the pretenses of Covid. The US trump admin could do the same with QR code IDs to "prove you are a citizen" with checkpoints throughout the country.

Or you can always pay for Wine and help it develop. Usually popular applications work well.

It's actually so bad lol. Idk what Microsoft has against
-for args but it's fuckn annoyingIt's also incredibly inconsistent, at least now that they're pushing more and more towards powershell.

Install it with the English (World) region

Hmmm
I skimmed the webpage and seems like some minimalist phone, which cannot adequetely replace many functions of a modern smartphone.

I tried setting up a dual boot Mint next to my Win 11 last night. Just so I can experiment with getting all the (replacement) programs of my Win 11 install to work on there… froze during install and was busy for hours getting my boot files for Win 11 back.
I’m not a technical genius or anything and now I’m scared to try again. I assume it’s way easier if I would just rip the bandaid off and do it in one go. Sadly too much relies on me still being able to use the computer close to the way I could before. Ah well. Another day, another chance to nuke the boot files.
Dual boot with Windows is terrible because of how fastboot messes with the drive partitions. If you want to dual boot you will have to turn off Windows fastboot.
