If you disable the Ethernet/WiFI then you can create a local account, but you have to do a small.extra step…
press SHIFT+F10 keys to open Command Prompt.
Run the following: OOBE\BYPASSNRO
After this, setup will reboot the computer and you’ll get a new option I don’t have Internet or Continue with limited setup to skip the Internet requirement and you can create a local account as well.
Or, when it asks for your email address and password enter a@a.com and any random password. It will tell you that account has been deactivated and allow you to set up a local account.
It’s not fully equal, but it’s way closer than people think. I tried Ubuntu in the mid teens and quit over lack of access to gaming. Last summer I switched to Garuda from Windows 11 and while there have been bumps in the road, gaming hasn’t been one of them. Proton just works for basically everything I try

I use fuck@microsoft.com
Looool

Been failing for lately. Now you have to:
cd oobe
Then run:
bypassnro.cmd
