   But you do need an OS to go with the kernel (windows may be proprietary malware, but at least it comes with an OS).

   Unfortunately, Linux does not, as it's proprietary software,
   
   For a free version of Linux, you need GNU Linux-libre, which is combined into GNU/Linux-libre.

     Yes, there are ways to bypass this restriction … but that's not really a solution, is it?

     The solution is to use software that treats users with respect and let's them decide how to best use their computer.

     #Windows11 :microsoft: requires a Microsoft account to complete the setup process.

     No online account, no working computer!

     That account enables #OneDrive and saves your files to the cloud, by default. It helps #Microsoft upsell #Microsoft365, #OneDrive, and #GamePass subscriptions. And it means Microsoft can more easily track users across its services.

     Whether the user wants it or not.

     Reason 8 To Choose Linux 😍

     No online account required!

     With #Linux you don't need to create an online account to set up or enjoy your new operating system.

     As it should be.

     It's that simple.
