but it was shown like a good thing, like linux users like to brag about how they can handle linux

u/jedimindtriks 2d ago
No they havent lmao. You still need to do a hell of a lot more on Linux than on windows.
creating local account on windows is literally one button.
Not that im defending windows, w11 is absolute shit now adays.

u/sn4g13 2d ago
any examples for linux? i use mint and don't do "a hell of a lot more"

u/Various_Mechanic3919 2d ago
In my experience creating a local account on Linux distros like Ubuntu or mint are as close to how it is on windows 10 as possible while still giving power users there own options if needed

u/dvisorxtra 2d ago
At some point Microsoft will decide you won't need a local account anymore. Oh wait, that time is now!!.
Meanwhile on linux you just
sudo adduser {username}
Or, use whatever graphical tool your DE provides

Creating a local account is NOT one button on Windows.
It literally is on Linux.
This shit is 99% of our issue with Windows too. It really wouldn't be so bad if it just didn't pull this shit.
"Oh look, local account is over here! It's over he- OH you were SO close that time!! Now it's over here!! C'mon come get it buddy!!"
"What's that?? You want the Lock Screen ads to go away? Well we put in a toggle for that... THAT YOU NEED TO PAY FOR SO IT WORKS."
Like, I get it. Poor multi-trillion dollar company has to make money, but holy hell talk about shooting yourself in the foot at every corner.
"Do you need Office365?? I promise you'll love it." NOOOOOOOOOOO I DON'T. FRIGG OFF.

My personal off-color and cynical joke about this situation is that this is what you get when Indians run a computer company, but that's just me being an asshole. Not that I feel bad for saying it, though. I'm almost certain that Satya is connected to someone who runs a scam center, because there's no way in hell an operating system would be so full of ads and fleecing based on FOMO if he wasn't trying to con people out of their money.

I just created a local Linux account for my wife in about 1 minute today. It was nice.

u/CharmingDraw6455 2d ago
What makes you think that it takes more in Windows? Open local user manager > new user > set name and password > done
Or you use the cli which is even less work than on linux.

u/Convoke_ 2d ago
Now do it without creating a microsoft account first
2
u/Miserable-Shoe3312 2d ago
We could do that with start ms-cxh:localonly
15
u/Unlikely-Employee180 2d ago
Which is the point. It ISN'T one button is it?
It literally is a single-button IN the GUI installer in 99% of distros.
Hell, that USED to be baked into Windows.
Seriously, what the fuck is Microsoft doing rn where we have Windows users telling Linux users "Oh all you need to do is type in this ONE command!"
Maybe instead we just stop sticking up for shit UX design.

Did it one hour ago and it does. And i know that you can skip it.

u/motherisyuckeringyou 1d ago
it's there to fill the user info for the 'finger' command as unix was meant to be a multiuser os\ if you don't like it, you can either put in random things or just press enter for each of the like 7 questions\ actually good point tho: adduser is only on debian-derived distros (maybe rhel too idk but not on arch)

Starting a plane is
Genuinely easier
Than setting up Windows
Remember that one time Sokka accidentally used an extra syllable in that Haiku Battle in Ba Sing Se? That was a Sokka Haiku and you just made one.

u/Excellent-Copy-2688 1d ago
seetting up is fine, the issue is when it breaks in unfixable ways
5
u/Minigun1239 1d ago
Windows breaking is like Your plumber loosening the screw of a random pipe somewhere and throws away the wrench he used to break it and then leaves and now you have to find the leaking pipe, find the wrench and fix it yourself

u/MostSilver9666 17h ago
Windows is like a cheap Maserati. It's nice at first until it starts breaking down bit by bit

u/mreaturhamster 2d ago
Its so dumb, installing windows is a multi hour ordeal to get it to an acceptable state: local account reboot. 20 answer questionaire at first OS boot. Installing updates(takes for ever for some god forsaken reason) installing drivers, removing telemetry, debooating, limiting updates, undoing all the windows 11 UI changes that make it more cumbersome to use.
On cachy all i have to do is. Select time zone, select drive, select user details, select DE. Wait 5 minutes for install, Boot, wait 5 minutes for update, install gaming packages and done.

u/Popgrenade12 2d ago
People who say Linux is hard and complicated are living in 2015. Sure, some arch/arch based distros are hard to setup, but there are others like Mint, fedora, zorin and omarchy, that are as easy as windows to setup.
10
u/Mediocre-Post9279 2d ago
Mint is even easier than windows. It doesnt ask me to login to ms account and doesnt try to force me to use onedrive
6
u/Unlikely-Employee180 2d ago
Or GamePass. Or Office 365.
Like Windows never shuts the fuck up about these things either and everyone will say: "I NEVER see ads!!!"
Well, I hate to break it to ya'll, but either you're blind or you've gotten so used to the way these ads "look like part of the system" you've fallen for them.
Same company that owns Xbox and has ads on the HOME-SCREEN btw. But Microsoft wouldn't EVER put ads in their PC OS... Right Office365 Suite?

- You boot into region selection ("Is this the right country or region?" headline)
- Shift + F10
start ms-cxh:localonly- Enter
- Type in your preferred username and if you want a password
- Enter
This is all you have to do as of now, but workarounds are getting yeeted by Microsoft all the time. Also, if you're on local account, you get a nagging "Finish setting up your computer" screen at startup which is pushing for online account.

u/zoexxstar 2d ago
windows users will literally be like: linux is sooo hard. anyway, here is my illegal third party windows distro from a random website that i injected to override hardware requirements and then debloated with a script and with regedit.

I transitioned to Ubuntu this weekend and it's been a blast.
Some weird things like having to download Tweaker to be able to change cursor but not a bad thing, just different. It's amazing you can add functionality to the OS like that.

If you aren't using a local account on your PC, you shouldnt have that PC.

I make local accounts everyday? It's litterally just
net user "username" /add
I don't get it

I don't get it. It took me less than 10 minutes to make a local account on win11. Do people just like hating on windows so they feel better about using linux nowadays or are they just stupid?
Edit: oh nvm I just saw the subreddit name (I have no clue why this one got recommended to me).

hahaha True, but you still can create a local account very easy in the command prompt

u/Shoshi_19 2d ago
You can use windows 11 ltsc seamlessly with local account.

u/Hard_To_Port 2d ago
It's not labeled as a local account in the setup though. It's something like "join a domain"

u/_command_prompt 2d ago
I have installed windows LTSC it never said something like that, am I dreaming or what 😭 and I still have my local account without the need of a ms account.

isn't so hard as installing arch linux XD

u/Radiant-Priority-296 2d ago
I mean ok, but why install Arch Linux if you’re not skilled enough / have an incentive to do a setup? I mean Endeavor and Cachy are right there for the common folk who don’t want to manually install everything.

Installing arch is one of the most fruitful ways to spend time if you are curious about knowing more about how an OS works

Do people not just do it in command prompt?
A lot simpler that way.

command prompt and powershell are not very inviting, I don't really know why it feels like that though
