Does this trick actually work?
If you don’t want a Microsoft account, at this point you should really consider switching to Linux.
Try a little Proton. There’s also Lutris. There hasn’t been a game I own that I haven’t been able to play on Linux.
Unfortunately, two of my most played games (R6:Siege and Cod MW2) can’t run on linux, and last time I checked Visual Studio also.
Yeah, that sucks. I’m not much of a gamer myself. I know there are workarounds, but I probably would stay with Windows for games too if that was the case.
Is a requirement for getting hired at Microsoft the ability so show utter contempt for your users? Sure seems like it.
Gentoo is easier than this
I mean, technically it’s only difficult because Microsoft doesn’t want you to make a local account anymore.
The difficulty is by no means necessary.
Omg guys I am also a part of linux community and asked them a distro for window user. They recommended zorin and pop OS. If you’re a window user and scared of coding and terminal then those two distro are for you. There’s an app store to install apps and the UI is better than windows. Do check it out, I am using it and love it.
