This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

OOBE\bypassnro no longer works on shipped computers. You have to have a old installer of 11 to use it. There are other ways. Mines a bit more hands on but I end up with a machine with a single local account. Those that tell you install linux and its fixed don't really live in the real world. As much as I would like to never have to touch windows its not going anywhere soon.

My personal take on that issue is that fighting the vendor is ultimately a losing battle and the later you switch, the more painful it is. If Microsoft wants people to make a Microsoft account for using Windows in non-enterprise environments, it will eventually be impossible not to.

I just used it like 3 weeks ago on a win11 Iso from M$s website. Are you positive that got changed?

also; Ive been daily driving linux for 5 years with mostly no issues. i only touch windows when requested by other people :P

Oh, sorry I missed that. I would use a new Iso anyway because of how much BS bloatware comes on pre-builts.
