    Been using tiny 11 iso. Doesn’t even ask u to create an online account, and it doesn’t come with edge browser. Can still get security updates. So far so good.

        Oh. I didn’t know that was a function of Rufus. I thought that was because of the iso.

        3 months on my VM and just installed it bare metal on a work PC. Also, just to note, even if you are connected to the internet, tiny 11 still won’t ask you to set up an online account, and even while doing updates during the install process.
