If you have anything that straight-up won't work in WINE or Mono, or only partially works in WINE or Mono (eg. CUETools when trying to use external encoders with it; that option is broken in both WINE and Mono but works normally in Windows, and CUETools is a FOSS app suite distributed under GPL to boot), just run LTSC in a VM, it still lets you use a local account for now, and that also goes for Win11 LTSC, both that and Win10 LTSC let you set up local accounts.

Why are people like this? If you didn't like what a company is doing, didn't use their products.

Because the network effect makes it so we all are forced to use this shit at work.

That's not the network effect though. It's a top down decision. If the higher-ups decide you're switching to Hannah Montana OS, you're all switching to it, regardless of what people outside the company is using.

All you have to do is a domain join now. No skipping the OOBE via command line, etc.
