IDK man win11 is pretty simple to "debloat" and most of the shit in this article that they complain about is common on multiple Linux, Apple, android, etc. setup/install processes.
Win11 is dogshit for a variety of reasons, like the shitty new start menu formatting/lay out. The god awful menu nesting. The laggy audio panel. The list goes on.
If we're gonna be nitpicking an OS. Atleast nitpick shit that actually impacts operation and isnt also common on many OS'
Edit: alright some of you keep spinning this as me defending dog shit windows 11... i never did nor did i state it was a good OS. Bunch of over zealous wierdos.
Creating a local account on a clean install of Windows 11 currently requires disconnecting ethernet during setup, a secret keyboard shortcut to open a command prompt, and entering a special command. I'll be surprised if this workaround doesn't go away in the near future, too.
Yep exactly what i stated, you can create local accounts. It's dumb you have to do the work around, i agree with that.
