I’d prefer to get a VPN to avoid the risk of my internet getting shut down, but I’m not aware of what the options for Linux are. I figured this would be a good place to ask.

The story of Linux in a few words.
Every OS requires setup.
windows just does it for you, sometimes poorly. never used a mac so idk there
From the one time I tried MacOS in a VM, setup is similar to Windows with somehow even fewer options and stronger 1984 vibes.
Windows 11 and needing a Microsoft account to install enters chat.
And yes, I know there is a work-around, which I’ve used, but it requires CLI commands to restart the OOBE/install.
At least you can use Windows without an account, on MacOS you can’t even install an app without one I don’t think.
Just to be clear, I hate both of them, I’m a Linux user.
Nope, you must create a user account for Windows. Creating a local (non-MS online account) requires the extra steps.
Well at least a Local account doesn’t require internet access.
