I'm pretty sure I won't get this offered since I am not signed into any Microsoft account on my Windows 11 installation. Or, I get it offered, but requested to sign in.

I have zero issues with signing GitHub Copilot into my GitHub account to use it with Android Studio or VS Code, I just don't want the OS to be logged into a cloud account which I don't really own and where I don't know what's getting synced to it.



Embrace the future or use linux.


Embrace the future -> Extend the future -> Extinguish the future

Thanks but no thanks, it is a long time ago I took a different path which leads to a different future, one which is not likely to be extinguished.


I used linux for many years. Ultimately, I like my laptop's touchpad and trackpoint to remain functional. Believe me, I have tried.


I wish I had that option, but unfortunately I'm forced to use Windows at work.


What do you mean or? the future is linux and it is here


Why does it matter if you are signed in? I mean, it's not like not singing in into microsoft account somehow prevents them from collecting telemetry. It's might be /slightly/ harder for them to match your profile, but we are talking about data collection scale that this is arguably irrelevant anyway
