      You can get around the account requirement with one or two commands during the install. Should be trivial for anyone capable of running Linux

        I was trying to explain to someone why I used Linux and their reasoning for not wanting to was because they didnt want to have to input commands. I told them how I don’t have to input any commands to get Linux installed but do to get windows installed and they didnt believe me

      I don’t understand this. I’ve had two win 11 installations over about 2 years and I’ve never had a Microsoft account or had to log in to one. Am I doing something wrong?
