Oh good, another reason to install Linux on my next reinstall
It might be a stupid reason, I always used a local account even when connecting a Microsoft account later, since I absolutely hate how Windows names the user folder for MS accounts...
If it's a PC, just grab another drive and install Linux now. Swear to god, you'll naturally and very quickly just not boot to Windows again. It's like...
Day 1: Install Ubuntu. Drive around, do stuff, learn.
Day 3: Install a different distro like Mint or whatever. Drive it around.
Day 5: Install the one you ended up liking most. All these installs take like 10 mins top btw, so go nuts.
Day 10: You havent used Windows except maybe for your work's 365 stuff. All you games, programs, etc. are on Linux now.
Day 14: Wipe the drive Windows is on and reinstall it on a shrunk partition. Only install your stuff for work or just leave it default.
And that's it. Yourself free, but it's still there if ever have to use it for something. You'll groan when you do though. And if you do WFH with work 365 stuff, the best part of the day is logging off and booting back into Linux. It's like the relief of coming home from work but you've been home all day.
I already have a laptop that has Arch running for a Year and I haven't regretted that a bit.
Im just to lazy to make some space for Linux on my desktop that's already dying and just waiting until I have replaced the Motherboard and CPU.
Especially since I will need to Dualboot for some programs and Windows really likes to kill my bootloader unless it has its own drive with its own EFI partition
VM time!
I have a windows VM to run some specific tools I need for work. Well, multiple, I have one particular tool that still is useful for certain projects that needs Windows 7 for example.
Not technically running on my desktop though. Ive got a proxmox host for it that I remote into from whatever to do what I need to.
