      If you don’t add a WiFi network and don’t plug in ethernet then you can also make a local account.

      Use no@thank.you as the account name, anything as the password. It will say “whoopsie, there was an error” and then you can create a local account.

        Windows sucks but that article was click bait bullshit and was due to the laptop manufacturer bloat ware.

    Pro tip: You can hit space tab space tab... to quickly cycle through them all.

    I will say though, it is mighty refreshing to go through a Linux installer now.

        You can totally automate the Windows install process and configuration. Not even Windows sysadmins should have to be dealing with it manually.

          We still use golden images, so whenever we refresh that I need to install windows on a VM. We still do our servers manually

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
