Windows 11 is closing a loophole that let you skip making a Microsoft account

  No it isn’t. It’s removing a batch script they used to provide as a shortcut to invoke the functionality. Until now they’ve been handholding people to streamline use of their less preferred feature and they’re no longer doing that. But by all means take the headline ragebait.

    idk, it goes from writing one single word, (to a normal person), to scary multiple lines “hacking”, besides, they could just remove the registry option.

  Sounds like a great opportunity to promote the Linux community and let the different OS shine.

  We might be on the last version of Windows that I am willing to run.

    Why wait? Linux has never been better. I have tried to daily drive various distros for the better part of a decade and have just recently (about a year ago) settled in Arch and have never looked back.

      Arch … famous for being the distro friendly for Linux newcomers with a welcoming community.

      Convinience. I’m a gamer first and foremost, and more of a hardware person than a software person at that. I have a friend who games on Linux and I’ve seen the fights he sometimes goes through to make things run. Sometimes it’s great, and it’s awesome, and others… Well, we’ll lose a night or two before finally getting in, or deciding it ultimately won’t work.

      I know there are distros to ease these problems, improve capatibility, etc., but when compared to Win10, which I am comfortable on and understand, it’s just easier to stick.

      That said, I have my limits, and a forced Microsoft account is a hard no-go for me.

      As an aside, if you have any distros that you think would allieviate/solve my issues, feel free to link.

  I yearn for the day my daily driver is a thundercunt of a Linux machine.

      No job, no thundercunt rigs. Sorry :( Right now that windows machine runs Ansys and a bunch of softwares that, once I get employed, I’ll be running on my work machine. That’s when it’s never-going-back-to-windows time B-)
