  What do you mean? For many processors you can circumvent the tpm requirement. For other cases, you can use Linux mint (for web browsing, etc.) if you need some windows software you’re SOL probably, although with winboat its relatively easy, to run windows apps semi-integrated!

  Depends on your use case. As a professional gamer, I switched to Arch.

      Yeah then i would suggest something like debian or ubuntu server. Or look into a deciated NAS OS like proxmox, truenas, openmediavault or hexos.

      That’s what i want to go with too!
