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.

There is no excuse for using Windows by choice. Not anymore. If you can switch to Linux - you really have to.

How about using the full Adobe suits (illustrator, etc...)? Or CAD softwares?

As far a I know, these do not run on Linux.

I really want to switch, but I can't leave these tools behind.

Hence: if you can.
