Linux doesn't force you to do anything of the sort.
As for Linux not forcing a sign in - REALLY ??? - every single time I installed Linux you HAVE to create an account and enter a password. Some you can tell it to auto log in some not.
I don't think you read what I said properly, I meant Linux does not force you to make some kind of online account, given the article was about forced online signups, and I said Linux doesn't force you to do anything of the sort...

I think a source of this problem is the same thing - more new users are coming on board, but don't have the technical understanding to troubleshoot the system, so they just use a different distro, and often, it does solve their problem, and then they suggest this to everyone else.
