Even setting up an account that isn't linked to Microsoft is tricky - particularly if it's the first account. You basically have to keep your PC offline throughout the entire setup, and even then as soon as you connect to the internet it'll start changing things.

O&OShutup is an essential piece of software to run, imo. You need to run it regularly also to catch the settings that get reverted with updates.

Or, hear me out here, you could use an OS that doesn't have all that shitfuckery built in the first place.

Absolutely. Unfortunately a lot of software still only works on Windows. Particularly in industrial settings.

Yeah, but the more customers demand Linux versions, the more likely companies will be to produce them.
