From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

If you don’t add a WiFi network and don’t plug in ethernet then you can also make a local account.

I had to create new registry keys and relaunch the OOBE with special flags to get around it in windows 11. Such a pain in the ass.

Dude, how the fuck?

I did it once some how making a Rufus USB stick but next time I used Rufus I either didn't get a settings prompt or it just didn't work.
