I use Windows 11 without an MS account and with Classic Shell. You can hardly tell a difference. I will continue using it. Because I can't be bothered not to. It also came with my computer (well, W10 did but the upgrade worked painlessly).

The "without an MS account" is the hard part. Don't you have to basically use a hidden debug feature to actually do that on install in windows 11 ? And then if it's anything like windows 10, they might trick you into tying the OS to your account if you log into it for visual studio/office/Windows store or whatever, that happened to me on my laptop and it was a major pain in the ass to revert

Linuxmemes should instigate a new rule.
Replies should not be serious, boring and/or don't to know seem to know what a stupid memepost is for.
Windows users should be rebutting this with equally stupid memes about xorg.conf or cups or maybe another panel where death is unable to kill windows because it lost the archlinux-keyring to unlock the scythe.
