I'd prefer to get a VPN to avoid the risk of my internet getting shut down, but I'm not aware of what the options for Linux are. I figured this would be a good place to ask.

From the one time I tried MacOS in a VM, setup is similar to Windows with somehow even fewer options and stronger 1984 vibes.

Windows 11 and needing a Microsoft account to install enters chat.

And yes, I know there is a work-around, which I've used, but it requires CLI commands to restart the OOBE/install.

At least you can use Windows without an account, on MacOS you can't even install an app without one I don't think.

Just to be clear, I hate both of them, I'm a Linux user.

Nope, you must create a user account for Windows. Creating a local (non-MS online account) requires the extra steps.

Well at least a Local account doesn't require internet access.
