Luckily AMD cards (and their control software) don't have this requirement.

Peak journalism

The more funny part of this statement is he's too fucking dumb to Google "set up windows 11 without Microsoft account" and follow exactly 3 steps to bypass the OOBE wizard.

To be fair, the option is pretty easy to miss for someone who isn't technical. Font size -11000 and grwy or whatever, though I might exaggerate.

Who uses Windows 11 anyway? I've personally been running Linux since 2017, and rarely have to touch Windows these days.

Who uses Windows 11 anyway?

Roughly 19.5% of all computers worldwide run Windows 11. While I don't know the exact number of computers in the world, that has to be in the multiple billions. So, yeah, a lot of people use Windows 11.

Oh shit now Elon is going to try to buy all of Linux.

I'd be happy. But too late to make Windows 10's name Windows X, so it probably won't happen.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He can rename it Windows X11 and piss off everyone

Wow, I wonder about his opinion on stubbing your toe.

[–] [email protected] 327 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just like no one wants to sign into Twitter to read one tweet.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

Wow so bold!

I'm going to log in with a burner Microsoft account on unactivated Windows 11 to spite both assholes.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You don't even need a Microsoft account. You can get around it with by using Rufus to create the Windows 11 installer.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I had to figure out the command to bring up the command console to not log in with a Microsoft account. It was super dumb. I had to turn something off in the system as a workaround, which meant a bunch of googling.

There is zero reason for me to have a Microsoft account associated with my computer just to use it.

Edit: This was on setup of the pc. Don't remember the commands, but should be easy to find on google.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can get around it by disconnecting the Internet during setup

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Used to work, not now.

SHIFT+F10

cd OOBE

bypassnro

Reboot.

Not really a contraversial opinion.
