Yes, with a simple upgrade to debian.

  Sadly, upgrading to Debian is anything but simple. For home users, sure, there's rarely anything keeping them on Windows (I'd say adaptive equipment, but Microsoft's breaking that kind of thing faster than their new dedicated team is fixing it) – but in the corporate environment…

    In the corporate environment, I wouldn't expect a user to be choosing between local and Ms account anyways.

    I heard this year is the year of the Linux desktop.

      I think that was actually 2002 when I look back. Everything sucked on the desktop then :)

  I'd recommend Linux Mint over Debian for people coming from Windows. Debian isn't as easy.

Yes. "If you do not want the Settings app to nag you with Microsoft Account prompts, go to Privacy > General and toggle off the "Show me suggested content in the Settings app" option."

  We have altered the options; pray we do not alter them further.

  why do this when the Linux upgrade feels so much simpler, and won't get nuked on the next patch or misclick?

    Because it won't be reset or ignored

    I remember the days of issues with sound cards using oss, and how after years of frustration, alsa worked perfectly fine and the very next release of Ubuntu, they moved to pulseaudio which made it all shit again. That was the last time I installed Ubuntu, I went through Debian, then os X and now nixos.

    Because the software we want to run either runs best under Windows or only runs under Windows.

    Linux gaming just isn't there and I use my PC mostly for gaming, so that's a difficult decision.

      It's so frustratingly close to being there, too. A few games with anti-cheat are non-functional, but Proton works great for the majority of non-native titles. Even my WMR headset is close to working (technically the headset is working, as long as you don't need controllers).
