  I personally just edited the registry to stom my Win10 upgrading to 11. If it fails, it’s Manjaro time.

    Manjaro might not be the best starting point tbh. So many better choices.

      It’s not that I’m disagreeing with you. I’m just not agreeing with you.

      I personally think that (as unpopular an opinion as it may be) Flatpak’s largely make the choice of first distro irrelevant. The weakness in Manjaro is that you either risk using the AUR or stay on old versions of the software. Or with Mint/Ubuntu/etc… you either risk adding random repos to your sources list or you use older versions of the software.

      Either way, you run the risk of a new person mucking up their system with a bad repo or a bad aur package.

      The alternative, using flatpaks, largely solves both issues for when you need newer versions of a certain software, and are dead simple to install/remove/update, etc…

      And I say this as someone who was super skeptical of flatpak’s for a very very long time.

    If you disable TPM in your bios, W11 won’t install, nor update if it is already installed.

      FYI if you have disk encryption enabled you need to pause/disable it first (assuming you’re using automatic unlock using the TPM, which usually is the default)
