Welp Microsoft's latest moves to further force people to use a Microsoft account for Windows 11 is so stupid that I'm just going full Linux now

After trying to just check what date the next saturday falls by opening up the built in calendar, it automatically closes and opens outlook, asking to log in. I tried multiple times, and eventually, Calendar app did open with this banner on the top.

So basically in order to just check dates other than today, soon, your option is either to sign in with a Microsoft account, download a 3rd party app, or open a browser.

This is trivial, but it just shows Microsoft's greedy clutch closing in. I'm finally done with Windows, and will be moving everything to Linux
