I have two Windows programs that I use regularly. I run Windows 10 inside Gnome Boxes within Linux Mint. The Windows VM has no internet access. I have successfully moved the Windows VM (not really hard) to a second computer. I see no reason to ever play Microsoft’s game again. Setting up Windows 10 or Windows IoT LTSC within Gnome Boxes is dead easy.
Microsoft will continue to eliminate workarounds. Copilot needs your data for training purposes. Snapshot, Onedrive, mandatory accounts, are all ways of forcing users to give up their data.
