You're quite late. I don't know if you've heard, but they've got Windows 11 now. There are people using it. Not me, but people.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago (11 children)

All true. The point is that win 11 doesn’t support a lot of old hardware that’s perfectly usable, just doesn’t have TPM2.0 chips built into them. There are some hacks around it, but it takes a great deal of desire and proficiency to make them work.

Yeah, and it sucks in like 30 other ways, but unfortunately people aren't smart and will be going to 11 like the drones they are. I'm dual booting Linux and 10 and spend 100% of my time on 10 because having to configure and go into terminal 24/7 isn't as fun as Lemmy makes it out to be.

Most settings average “Facebook machine” users need are available on common distros without touching a console.

Unless you want to emulate common windows software. Then only God can save you.

I use Arch, btw
