Can you provide an example of an OS that requires internet for a working base system? I can't think of any off the top of my head.

- gjsman-1000 5y agoEdit: Misread question. Windows 11 Home Edition. You can't set up without a Microsoft Account, and the disabling Wifi/Ethernet trick has been patched.
- ludamad 5y agoThat's funny. When I heard it mentioned the speculation was they might add a more obvious way. Good they "fixed that bug"
- Crontab 5y agoApple's iDevices and T2/M1 Macs all require Internet access to finish their setup. Windows 11 Home requires Internet as a Microsoft account is needed during setup. Unless there is a workaround that I haven't read about.
- rewgs 5y ago> Apple's iDevices and T2/M1 Macs all require Internet access to finish their setup. If by "finish" you mean "log into iCloud," then yes, but that goes without saying. You can absolutely have a working device without an internet connection.
- Crontab 5y agoNo, those devices phone home to complete setup, regardless of using an iCloud account.
- philistine 5y agoNope.
