Haven't tested this with the most recent Windows 11 installer but in the past what I do during the install is select that I'm setting the system up for a corporate / domain account. From there it allows to enter a normal Windows username/password like normal (you don't actually need a domain name but you can make one up if you want).
Easiest way is to get Windows 11 LTSC from MAS
Here you go!

AtlasOS is also pretty good to set up after windows is installed but before anything else is set up.
There should be an option to use a local account. I think the text is small and borderline hidden.
