Wouldn't W10 be better? No online account needed and there is still Windows Mixed Reality many VR games rely on.

  You don't need an online account for W11 either.

    But WMR was removed from W11 so it's useless for many AR/VR games/apps.

      I was responding to this part of the comment: >No online account needed Because it implies that you need an online account for W11, which you don't.

  I'm on W10 for now for largely this reason, but it's not future-proof. Support ends on Oct 10, 2025, and they'll almost certainly stop supporting it with some gaming-critical libraries and functionalities sooner than that. When that happens, I'm going to do my damnedest to transition to Linux. I can already play the vast majority of games really well on my Steam Deck, so ideally I can recreate the same technology stack on my desktop and just have better hardware there.

    Bazzite, Chimera and Nobara are trying to do the same thing on top of different mainstream distros if you don't want to do it yourself. For better hardware Nvidia Graphics issues are largely fixed with the new beta driver so by that time, it should be a good place.

  As someone else said, in Windows 11 LTSC you do not need an online account to set it up.

    There is no WMR though.
