I could never understand why microsoft is so against local user account. There’s a similar freedom from corporate fuckery when using Linux and everyone is ok with that.

Because normal users don’t need a local account. If you want one - use the enterprise edition of Windows.

Normal users don’t need a cloud account. The fact that windows has run on local accounts for forty fckn years is evidence of this.

You realize that PC stands for “Personal Computer”, right? As in MY computer. My property. I should be free to use a local account without issue. I should be free to value my privacy.

This is why Linux is growing faster than ever. It actually understands what personal computing is.
