Preach!

And nothing of value will be lost.

Well I wont be getting one of those shit samsung/motorala phones so not a worry.

Oh man T9! I used to do that one handed without looking back in the day I wonder if I’ll still be any good at it.

90 bucks! I almost fainted seeing a phone at a reasonable price. Thanks for the rec I think I’m gunna grab one on payday.

What one did she get? I still haven’t settled on one yet and could use some recommendations.

I have been looking at getting a flip phone and ditching this “Smart phone” bullshit altogether, I still might. I’m sick of this rug pull bullshit and no one can convince me they aren’t just going to try again.

If they did it would make all the bullshit I typed earlier entirely pointless, and honestly I hope its true because having to do all of the just to get a local account is ridiculous.

No, they aren’t. The only people I ever here say that are angry linux fanboys complaining that people won’t use their preferred distro. This guide is for the people who want to do such a thing. If you don’t want to then don’t no one cares. Use Bazzite or Mint if you think linux is too hard.

Honestly that is the best approach if you are able too, but this guide is for those who can’t or won’t for whatever reason. https://schneegans.de/windows/unattend-generator/ is also a great resource if you want to customize it further.

You are probably right, most folks aren’t even aware because they have no need for it. The only reason I need it is for my gaming rig that launches big picture mode on startup. I have no need for it on any of my desktop machines.

articles like this wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t true, they will appear but they wont auto mount https://techhut.tv/auto-mount-drives-in-linux-fstab/

*some distros may auto mount but I never used one that did

Lol im stealing that

Linux has its stupid bullshit too, its just 12 of one and a dozen of another sort of situation. For example I don’t have to jump through hoops to auto mount a secondary drive on windows I just install the drive and there it is. But on linux I have to jump through all sorts of ridiculous hoops for some stupid reason. However it will auto mount flash drives and sd cards even though those are the ones more likely to pose a security risk.

You are correct I will update my instructions. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.

net user fossilesque /add I don’t know where you are getting “rap” from but remove that.

For those who care, at the first setup screen instead of answering any of the questions press Shift + F10.

CMD will open.

Type (no quotes) “net user Prefferedusername /add” (replacing Prefferedusername with the user name you wish to use) and press enter.

Next type “net localgroup administrators Prefferedusername /add” and press enter.

Next type “net user Prefferedusername /active:yes” and press enter.

Next type “net user Prefferedusername /expires:never” and press enter.

Next type “net user administrator /active:no” and press enter.

Next type “net user defaultUser0 /delete” (this is case sensitive make sure the “U” is capitalized) and press enter.

Next type “regedit” and press enter.

This opens registry editor, navigate to “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\OOBE”

Delete “DefaultAccountAction”, “DefaultAccountSAMName”, and “DefaultAccountSID”

Right click on “LaunchUserOOBE” and rename it to “SkipMachineOOBE” and make sure the value is set to “1”.

Close registry editor and type “shutdown /r /t 0”

readies my fourteen-pound lump hammer

You can, and without microsoft pushing malware onto your system with out your consent your chances of getting hacked are probably lessened.

Everyone is making a big deal about support ending but it doesn’t fucking matter anyway. You PC is not going to suddenly stop working you just wont get updates. Considering the updates microsoft pushes now days are loaded with malware and spyware anyway it’s all a wash if you keep using 10.
