Man, having to setup GPO to stop a lot of stupid horseshit is definitely not consumer friendly, and I don't wanna do it. Microsoft should just stop.
There are templates for that. And yes,of course it is bullshit that we have to do that.
But it's less work this way compared to installing Linux and (-the worse part-) teach it to the more technologically disadvantaged relatives who used Windows for 30 years before their retirement. Or to kids who just want to use the same stuff they use at school.
I absolutely would wish that Microsoft would stop their bullshit (it wasn't even out of the possible options for them to make AD cloud only - but a lot of government customers complained). But I wanted to show people that there is a middle ground between submitting to that fucking cloud account and ditching linux all- together.
