   This thread is about which consumer systems require the operating system   
   vendor's constant logging into in order for basic functionality to work.   
      
   Windows S = yes (the Internet login account is required for the basics)   
   ChromeOS = yes (almost exclusively, again, if you want the basic apps)   
   Windows 11 = no (you don't need an Internet login account for basics)   
   Windows 10 = no (you don't need an Internet login account for basics)   
   Linux = no (you don't need an Internet login account for the basics)   
   iOS = yes (the Internet login account is required for the basics)   
   macOS = has anyone answered whether the mac also requires the account?   
      
   I've never used a mac.   
      
   Does it also require logging into the Internet to get basic functionality?
