Its on topic. BitLocker causes problems for the average person by auto enabling itself and not telling you what the key is. Then 5 years down the line when you get locked out, it tells you to access your key via a Microsoft account you don't remember creating and get locked out of trying to verify you are the owner of the account. This is the number 1 reason, imo & experience, that people ask "how to disable BitLocker".

To be fair it's a combination of w11 + ms account + enabling BitLocker automatically. If YOU enable BitLocker and set the key for yourself, I don't really have an issue and neither should you.

Using Linux + LUKS, you never have to worry about your computer encrypting itself and not telling you what the key is.
