  I use CachyOS, but for the vanilla home user “I bought a laptop!” at bestbuy or whatever the fuck, there’s no local account option anymore. It’s connect to the internet and sign in with microsoft, and nag you constantly every 3 days until you activate onedrive and other microsoft services.

  I got an ARM64 laptop through work to test to see how it might work as an experiment and this has been how the device behaves from day 1. It’s a nightmare.

    Does windows no longer let you use a PC without the internet?

      As far as I know an internet connection is required on a vanilla OOBE setup of windows 11 with today’s iso or a dell/hp/lenovo preload.

      Most user systems ship with W11 Home licenses, no pro, so they don’t even have a domain join option.
