Windows 11 nudges you to use a Microsoft account, and it's been getting worse since the last few Windows updates, but that could change soon.

        I’m gonna say I spent 8 months cloning my windows environment and then learning Linux basics, and trying to figure out how to make everything work after I migrated to Linux and now they want to backpedal the bullshit that made me leave windows in the first place?

        Fuck you, I’m not walking any of this back. I’ve finally got out of their shitty fucking ecosystem, and I’m actually happy with where I am. Fuck Microsoft, I’m not going back.

        Yah they do deserve to be treated like shit. At this point they are willingly participants. MS has been making the experience shittier and shitter and people accept it. If they do roll this back it is only because they are worried.

          Does Linux work with nvidia cards yet?

          Or even the other way around. Do nvidia cards work with Linux yet?

    Don’t worry, they’ll still be able to find out what all your accounts are when they’ve got their AI reading screenshots of your screen. Makes sense to make the setup process more streamlined at this point.

    This is already possible using an autounattend file.
    https://schneegans.de/windows/unattend-generator/ is fantastic.
    Use Microsoft’s Media Creation Tool to create a windows installer USB, add the XML file to the root of the USB disk, reinstall windows exactly how you want it.

    (If you are feeling fancy, download the windows iso, and repack it with the autounattend.xml file in it, then drop it onto a Ventoy USB stick)

    Good for those who are stuck with Windows. At least ONE of the (big) issues would be fixed.

    I assume any technical person uses one of the workarounds anyway.
