Probably better using 7 or Xp if you don’t need it going on the internet

I feel like this was already the case

Oof.
We’re removing the bypassnro.cmd script from the build to enhance security and user experience of Windows 11. This change ensures that all users exit setup with internet connectivity and a Microsoft Account.
Absolute bullshit

Also fuck you if your wifi drivers aren’t built in to windows.

but above all, fuck you if you care at all about your privacy, and if you think it is more important than our profits

Actually, setup allows for wifi drivers to be loaded in lol

Microsoft made some bullshit mandatory to lock in users as data chattel?

I’m never deleting the Windows 11 installer ISO I downloaded months ago.

So even TFA says it’s not completely going away. It’s just switching from a command to a registry entry. Additionally Windows 11 Enterprise most likely won’t be affected or LTSC.

No doubt. I’ve been exploring Linux distros all day today.

I was a Debian guy for years now. Running on all my servers and virtual machines, but never got to be satisfied with it enough to “format Windows” out of my main computer. Until one day I discovered Aurora and relatives. That’s it, that’s the endgame for me. Literally everything works out of the box including support for legacy Nvidia cards, g-sync, scaling etc. and I can fully understand and like their design decisions (hell, with brew it will be just like having a Mac). I’m done with Windows before this year ends.
