  Wow, so many salty replies to Linux or soon-to-be Linux users in that thread

    Not really, the only saltines comes from OPs tears all over this post.

    It’s just so fun seeing how OP is faced with either having an unsecure system or having to pay to replace his otherwise perfectly capable machine, but still has so much loyalty to Microsoft (or he’s in extreme denial) that he’s throwing shit at everybody,even those who just explain Microsoft won’t drop the requirement.

    But it’s ok, my non TPM machines will continue to work for years, always up to date. And when 12 rises the requirements yet again I’ll laugh at all the people crying that a trillion dollars company isn’t hearing them.

      As someone mentioned in the comments, non TPM machines can have W11 on them and it will most likely work just fine so that’s pretty much a non issue…

        Both AMD and Intel bake a hardware TPM into their CPUs IIRC. I think Windows 11 complains more about Secure Boot not being enabled on my PC than the TPM.

        You can tinker your way around it, and hope Microsoft doesn’t change anything that breaks the workaround. Doesn’t make OPs less funny.

        Serious question: what are the actual application in our day-to-day use?

  This is nothing new. Windows 10 will be 10 years old at that point. They’ve done paid extended service for several previous windows versions. I don’t like Windows or Microsoft. I run Linux or MacOS where I can but I can’t fault them for supporting an OS for 10 years.

    Longer than apple will ever support an OS you can be damn sure about that.

      The updates are free and changes affecting user interface and software compatible are minimal. Especially compared to windows versions.

        Apple disables old apps claiming they aren’t compatible with their new OS.

        It literally breaks entire programs for dumb reasons.

        I quite enjoy MacOS but they are way more likely to break backwards compatibility than Microsoft. I would argue that one of Microsoft’s biggest problems with Windows is that they don’t break compatibility often enough. The engineering effort they put into maintaining support for archaic software is pretty immense.

    Yeah, I know it’s nothing new. Just an example of what Microsoft offers to people on his situation and how Microsoft won’t suddenly backtrack on W12.
