> A desktop without a cloud account is
...ideal? Desktops have always come without a cloud account in all computers I've used since my first Commodore 64. The thought that a cloud account is somehow a requirement for a "desktop" environment seems so alien to me I can't even begin to see what our ideas of computing have in common.
An internet connection is required, sure. But a "cloud account" is the invasive thing I try to avoid or remove, each time more frequently, from my home computers.
