    Last time I installed Windows I literally had to drop out of the install wizard and run a bunch of terminal commands in order to perform the installation without a Microsoft account.

      I had to do that to get Windows to recognize my SSDs. Yeah, it was a fucking mess.

      Linux just worked. I honestly wish at this point that I hadn’t even bothered setting up Windows. It was 90% of the hassle.

      that’s why the only version of Windows worth using is the Pro version of windows, it lets you make local accounts.

        So you’re saying you can’t use this distribution of windows but another better distro? Sounds familiar

          luckily both are free or i guess spend the $20 on a key from somewhere if you need to. then you have to live with the fact that most things will function on your operating system without having to think about it or research. it’s pretty terrible.
