Windows requires you to make an online account that includes your first and last name. I’ve never once added my first or last name to a Linux install, and most distros don’t ask you anything about root anymore, either.
Also, Windows very much asks for a domain, and in fact they’re the originator of it. When it’s asking whether the computer is for personal use or work, it’s deciding whether to request a domain to join to. ActiveDirectory (the thing the domain is referring to) came directly from Microsoft as a Windows feature that you have to pay extra for. Not to mention, if you don’t have a domain, just don’t enter one. There’s not a single distro where that’s a hard requirement, and it never will be.
