Installing OS, 10 years ago:

Windows: click a couple of buttons enter username and password

Linux: Terminal hacking, downloading shell scripts from github

You don't download shell scripts from github for windows. You download batch scripts and exes from random file hosting sites, and they don't even fix your problem.

You'll be lucky if it's even hosted on random hosting sites and not some discord channel.

CMD is a shell, homes.

tldr: batch is a scripting language, which interacts with the windows shell, so in that way it is a shell script.

sorry for being pedantic, hope this info is interesting for somebody anyway

They probably talk about the unlocker script.

The post is describing the scripts to disable telemetry, OneDrive, ads, etc.

But the thread not.

[-] umbrella@lemmy.ml 6 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

some random .exe from mediafire to install drivers

or one of those shady ones with tons of ads and slow ass downloads.

Talking here about regular x64 OS install not ARM though, have not played with that myself.

Not really, it is usually PowerShell scripts from trusted blogs or in case of local account creation, you run a batch file that is built in installer (oobe\bypassnro) that adds a single registry value. Not sure I would call this hacking. Then again I don't think Linux 10 years again had problems with account creation as well.

Would be nicer if you could create local account out of the box? Sure. Do some prefer MS account? Also true.
