In a sly move, Microsoft has removed the online help page that shows how to switch to a local account on its Windows 11 operating system. (www.pcgamesn.com)

It's good to know I have options! Aster is already the singular solution on Windows as far as I can tell, and for good reason I figure... this is a pretty fringe need. But at least I know I can potentially replicate the setup on Linux - I'll for sure look in to that.

I absolutely understand the extra work worry. I worry Microsoft is killing Windows consumers slowly enshutifying it by turning the heat up slowly. I hope not but i expect it will reach a point where it will no longer be the product you recognise. I do highly reccomend dual booting to learn when you have the energy. I recently switched back and have been very impressed by nixos approach to configuration based system wide configuration. Its dam fantastic novel approach, my OS and apps are configured via files and if i screw up to it’s easy as rebooting and selecting the previous config. It took me 2 hours to get everything configured as a newbie including hdr. I am now done, have nothing more to tinker and have a future proof computer which in my opinion saves me significantly more time than windows. For example if i reinstall, i just add my config to the installation and done. Literally everything is setup exactly how i like it from os to apps.

If you ever do decide to try out Linux there are plenty of us ex Windows users in the community that are willing to help where we can.
