#Microsoft removes the last(?) method of installing #Windows11 without a Microsoft #cloud account: https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/2025/03/28/announcing-windows-11-insider-preview-build-26200-5516-dev-channel/

"We’re removing the bypassnro.cmd script from the build to enhance security and user experience of Windows 11. This change ensures that all users exit setup with internet connectivity and a Microsoft Account."

What else do you need to switch to a #Linux system which is respecting your privacy and your security in contrast to MS?

Contact your local community if you need help with that.

Further benefit: Linux is not forcing you to throw away perfectly good computer hardware just to update to #Win11.

Ich habe gerade eine Idee und Frage mich ob das wohl geht.
Kann man ein altes #android #Smartphone als #Grafiktablet an einem #win10 oder #Win11 und #linux Rechner nutzen?
Wäre cool um damit Dokumente unterschreiben oder mal ne kleine Skizze anfertigen zu können.

I really think Linux Foundation or a collaboration between distros and DEs should create some website and materials to try and capture the attention of people who don't like Win 11 or just don't want to throw away a perfectly fine PC and buy a new one – and try and help them migrate to Linux

Rising tide lifts all boats, the competition between players should be set aside for the goal of helping as many as possible get to Linux now with EOL for Win10. A unique opportunity!

Jos joku muukin ihmettelee, miten saa "haamu"näytölle siirtyneen ikkunan takaisin näkyviin (Windows 11), niin
1. klikkaa ohjelma aktiiviseksi
2. pidä hiirtä aktiivisen ohjelman päällä, niin saat "esikatseluikkunan" näkyviin
3. siirrä hiiri esikatseluikkunaan
4. klikkaa oikealla hiiren näppäimellä
5. valitse "siirrä"
6. siirrä ikkuna nuolinäppäimillä takaisin näkyviin.

Kyllä, toivoisin, että näin ei tarvitsisi tehdä ja, että se ei olisi niin vaikeaa.

Zerknijcie sobie na ten film. Gościu opowiada jakie dane wyciąga #Windows z komputera z #Windows11. Jeśli to wszystko prawda, to jest jakaś masakra. W skrócie, człowiek nie instaluje sobie systemu operacyjnego, tylko zwykłą maszynkę do szpiegowania.

I just installed Windows 10 Home on a device. I never realized how crappy #Windows has become in my opinion.

My first mistake was connecting it to the internet in the setup wizard, as it then tried to force me to create and sign into a #Microsoft account. I then researched this, but none of the #Win11 tricks worked on #Win10.

I managed to disconnect from the WLAN again by opening the command line (Shift + F10) and typing "netsh wlan disconnect". Afterwards I could create an offline account.

On a positive note, I finally completed my #Jellyfin server installation and configuration. (This to replace my 12-year-old #Kodi installation.)

It's nice having a single "authority" for my videos without having to go off-lan. (koff, #plex)

Even more amazing is that the service is running off a $300 #Win11 #nuc I use for streaming.

Bon, j'ai une bonne nouvelle ! Relative, personnelle, mais elle est surement réplicable et je vous en fais donc part : ma mère de 76 ans s'accommode plus que très bien de son #Linux Mint (sur son ordi qui ne passe pas la porte d'entrée pour #Win11)

Bref, si ma mère de 76 piges, pas du tout technophile, y arrive, vous devriez, vous aussi, essayer de vous passer de #windows ou de #macOS ...

Switcher pour #Linux : un grand pas bénéfique pour l'utilisateur, une somme de petits pas collectifs contre les GAFAM...

I feel a bit despondent after learning that Windows 11 gave the Print Screen button proper UX and it now opens the snipping tool.

Knowing the Win + Shift + S shortcut was what defined me.

Now what do I have left?

Me be trying, hoping, wishing, to persuade dad to let me finally convert his win10 pc to Linux [+ a permanently offline win10 VM for his proprietary pgms that ofc do not run in Linux, & for which he won't or can't let me convert him to FOSS equivalents], instead of doing the feared upgrade to win11, sometime in the coming months.

I've not had time yet to read all these, but so many of the links here seem to portray win11 as total tripe & hideous horror... which IMO would be some achievement given i loathed win10 from the start, so if 11 is actually even worse than 10, then... OMZ

https://nogoo.me/search?q=this%20is%20why%20so%20many%20people%20hate%20windows%2011&language=auto&time_range=&safesearch=0&categories=general

Purchased a Windows license for the first time in over two decades. Of course, it's a #Win11 VM running on #bhyve. I'm using a software based TPM (swtpm) and vm-bhyve.

Up to now I have always had a #Win7/10 box on my workbench for everything #embedded. I wanted an alternative to my workstation, in case I fry something. Right now it is a refurbished i3 for 60eur. #Win11 will not run on that thing, but I won't throw a perfectly good computer away when #win10 support ends.

So I checked if all my HW/SW I usually need has a #Linux alternativ and guess what: The only thing I have not found a replacement for is my feel-good #Git client Sourcetree
