No, I guess I didn’t explain it, though I thought I had. Don’t ask me to turn on location settings, don’t ask me to connect my email/online accounts, during a gui install. I can turn those on myself if I want to. Someone else up-thread pointed out that this probably exists to help windows uses transition over to a Linux install in a way that feels more familiar, and that makes sense. I don’t like it, but I can accept that.
I’ll still grumble when I see that screen though.
- dmd 6mo agoOh. I thought you were talking about making a user account. I've never seen anything like that on any linux install I've ever done. But then I've been pretty much Debian-only since I started using Linux over 30 years ago.

- cwel 6mo agoYou also attributed this to "Linux", instead of whatever guided installer/desktop environment you chose. I have never encountered the screens you are lamenting.
- irishcoffee 6mo agoThat's fair, its mostly "mainstream" distros. Here is an example: https://d3t0tbmlie281e.cloudfront.net/igi/framework/q6Yb16BqteZIrHRr.medium https://d3t0tbmlie281e.cloudfront.net/igi/framework/q6Yb16Bq... Linux was too broad a term.
