On February 25, 2024, billionaire and owner of social network X (formerly Twitter) Elon Musk publicly announced problems with access to Windows OS. He said he couldn't log in without a Microsoft account.
Just bought a new PC laptop and it won't let me use it unless I create a Microsoft account, which also means giving their AI access to my computer! This is messed up.
There used to be an option to skip signing into or creating a Microsoft account.
Are you seeing this too?

In the comments to the publication, some users wrotethat Windows OS can still be used without creating a profile. The billionaire replied that even in this case, the process of starting a computer should not be so difficult.
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin later joined the discussion. He suggested that Elon Musk switch to Linux OS and evaluate its advantages.
Would be amazing to have you join us and become a desktop linux user!

Linux is an open source operating system introduced in 1991. Each user of this OS can make changes and improvements to the software package.
Subsequently, user opinions were divided. Some followers praised Buterin for promoting open source software, while others said Linux was not the best choice for Elon Musk.
