I built a new PC last year and bought a copy of Windows 11. Holy moly the login process required so much bullshit that I skipped through. It also every few days tries to get me to go through it again. After learning about all the Spyware and other bullshit I decided to just take the plunge back into using Linux as a main OS.

A couple of years ago I was trying to reinstall Windows 10 without Internet. I hadn’t bought a switch for that room yet so ended up having to unplug another computer so Windows “Special Snowflake” 10 would let me a little easlier set up the admin and user.
