Description

Who will use the new feature?

Any person interested on the OS.

What is the target of the new feature for this user?

The user would know that /e/OS is not like any other Stock Android, in which is almost necessary to create an account. In fact, many interested people thinks that moving to /e/OS has nothing in benefit as it is mandatory to create an /e/ account, like for Google.

Why this user would like to use this feature?

Because this way there are no biases about the indispensability to create an /e/ account to use the OS.

Examples

The user could install the OS without an /e/ account and use it without any other account, with a Nextcloud one..
