Windows 11's online Microsoft Account requirement means your PC is automatically backing up its data encryption key to the cloud, and Microsoft says it will hand those over to the FBI if asked.

@jonsnow Gentle reminder it is possible to just not hand everything over about your computing to a US corporation that will take periodic screenshots and archive them under their control to be scanned by AI and remembered forever.
You can download a "Live" USB stick ISO image (eg https://fedoraproject.org/workstation/download ), put it on your stick using a tool like https://rufus.ie/en/ and boot from it, by default it runs from USB stick only and won't touch your hard disk unless you ask to install there.
