• Microsoft inadvertently highlighted the benefits of using a local account over a Microsoft account on Windows 11 in a recent support page update.
  • Using a local account allows for offline sign-in, is independent of cloud services, and limits settings, files, and applications to a single device, enhancing privacy.
  • Despite these benefits, Microsoft requires internet access or workarounds for the initial setup of Windows 11, making it challenging to use a local account from the start.

If I could use Linux and still play multiplayer video games with anti cheat I would be so happy…

Dual boot, and use something like AtlasOS to clean up the BS that comes with windows.

I have a separate drive with windows for solidworks and a few online games I play occasionally. 99% of the time I run Linux though.

That being said I understand if you game online a lot and those games don’t work in Linux then that really isn’t an option.

At the very least though I would check out something like AtlasOS, it works for both W10 and 11.

Please don’t use atlasOS. These “custom” versions of Windows are fully of security implications.

It’s not a custom version of windows.

Please make sure you do some research before you implicate things.

AtlasOS modifies a fresh install of windows to help get rid of bloat ware and some of the security concerns that MS puts in their OS.

Use something like Chris Titus’ script instead of a black box script, he explains what it does in his videos, so there’s not much trust needed.

That is a dev/publisher issue. A lot of games work now. EAC is just a flip of a switch basically.

Yeah well it’s a Dev/Publisher issue with the games I play regularly, so.
