I love how confidently incorrect you are. There’s no 3rd party hack required to bypass the Microsoft account login/sign up requirement. You just do the initial set up of the computer without connecting it to the internet.

You’ve bypassed Microsoft’s account requirement using a third party hack, and are now trying to access a Windows service that requires an account.
What did you expect to happen?

Microsoft is going hard on requiring accounts for windows 11. Its one of the many reasons I am considering switching over to Linux entirely.

Just curious, what’s stopping you from switching ?

Not OP, but mostly inertia. I have a workflow. I have the programs I need to do what I want. Most of it is stuff I’ve had in place for years. Can I do those things on Linux? Probably, but I’d have to look into it.
That being said, my laptop doesn’t officially support Windows 11, so the Windows 10 EoL in October will probably be the “external force” I need to format my drive and switch. Well done, Microsoft.

Not op.
Basically apps like Photoshop, DaVinci Resolve.
DaVinci Resolve for some reason simply doesn’t want to work on my Linux instance. Plus it’s playback is way slower compared to windows. My pc has weak specs so it’s not really Linux’s fault. Plus it says my GPU isn’t supported in DaVinci on Linux while it does on Windows.
VST plug-ins for DAW.
Games like Valorant doesn’t run on Linux.
I like Linux. But devs don’t want to support Linux at the moment because of low market share.
Some apps need to be natively available on Linux. Wine isn’t sufficient for running windows apps a lot of times. Especially in a professional setting.
Hopefully Linux market share increases in the future. It’ll drive developers to write Linux native apps.
Would be sick to fully switch to Linux. Waiting for that day.
