I bought a new laptop, my first brand new first hand laptop in more than 10 years, and decided to try the Windows 11 setup experience that came with it.
It was non-stop cursing. It made the quirks of working with a system so new the Linux drivers haven’t caught up with how to manage an integrated and discrete GPU yet a tolerable yet charming character trait.
I totally understand the hatred Kronii has for this OS she is forced to live with for her job.
You can skip the account creation if you set it up without connecting to the internet.
@[email protected] Windows 11’s installer forces you to choose a WiFi SSID. There is no skip button.
Once I realised I shouldn’t have put in my WiFi password, it was too late, and restarting the setup did not reset the storage of my password in the setup screen.
I couldn’t be arsed to turn off my WiFi just to open a shell in the installer, to disable network connectivity, when the purpose was to experience what a typical Windows 11 victim goes through.
I set it up on a new gaming handheld (before I installed holoiso) like 2 weeks ago and I was able to do it without connecting to the internet. But yeah, you might have to do a reset if you’ve already programmed the wifi info.
In the future, your keyboard might have a function key that kills the wifi adapter.
@[email protected] haha I’ll find out when I buy a brand new laptop after another 10 years.
But by then, I hope Framework laptops will be available locally here for purchase.
