Machine needs to be fast enough that they can take their constant screenshots of what you’re doing without it bogging the computer down so much you won’t use it.
Considering we’ve already seen people hack their way around certain installation requirements for Win11, such as the TPM chip, I think that claim rather bogus.
Also, why the hell would I want to install an OS that demands me to go buy new hardware for “security reasons” when it itself is filled with Microsoft brand spyware??
Agreed, but MS are cracking down on alternative installations methods that go around requirements.
The vast majority of people don’t really know that MS has ramped up spyware systems in Win11. A large portion of them probably couldn’t care less (although some non-technically minded folks would probably refuse to move to Win 11 if the spyware issues were described in clear, non-technical language).

We had a meeting and decided, “You know what? Fuck em!”

I confirm zero chance I will be switching to Win11, no matter the hardware they support.
As soon as Win10 dies the death of falling out of support I will ditch Windows for home use.
For now I am sticking with Windows 10. I think Microsoft will be forced to provide at least another ~2 years of security updates, if not more.
There are hundreds of millions of completely functional, actively used computers that don’t support TPM 2.0, it would be stupid to get rid of them just because a corrupt, monopolist like MS says we should.
I put together a PC a few years ago and noticed that slot, I don’t even know what TPM does. Should I?
Wasn’t market penetration of win11 going down while win10 going up even though it’s going to be deprecated soon?
I thought that was happening now, not past-tense.
English is very limited when it comes to verb forms, so it tends to reuse them for different purposes.
In this case I don’t think it’s actually being used as past tense, more like a conditional, or hypothetical (not sure those are the right words, but I hope you get what I mean).
Sure, “isn’t” would probably work too, but I think using “wasn’t” might probably sound better to a native speaker (I wouldn’t know, English is my third language, but I think I’ve seen this form much more often than the present one), though it might depend on specific dialects…
"Sir, without a TPM module, we can’t bitlocker their storage without their consent or knowledge and then store the Bitlocker key to our cloud, (again with no warning or consent gained) "for their convenience which lets us directly link their identity and sell every last bit of data about them.
“Well FUCK THAT.” -MS ManagementI know I sound insane. ^That is precisely what 11 does by default. Not a joke.
I’ve got Debian installing right now! Bookworm wasn’t working for me so I’m switching to trixie. I was actually planning on not doing this yet, riding the path of least resistance until win10 support ended, but switching to a 5700x3d caused the current install to bsod after boot up. Figured now’s as good as ever
They are still sore that people didn’t just gulp Vista’s horrendous performance.
Install Linux
And luckily, I have zero hardware that’s supported by windows 11. It sound like there will be a lot of cheap, used hardware for sale soon for those of us that run Linux.
I disabled my TPM in bios. No upgrade for me.
When all this “old” hardware goes on sale, where would one find these deals? I can think of at least three places I might want to have another PC setup.
We’ll see if we get closer and their numbers go down.
At least on Intel even very old systems often do support TPM 2.0, it’s just not enabled by default. However many of these systems are still not supported by Windows 11, for no clear reason.
