Microsoft Reverses "Non-Negotiable" TPM 2.0 Requirement for Windows 11 as Windows 10 Faces Phase-Out - Techopse - Trading Enthusiasm for Anger
In a surprising turn of events, Microsoft has reversed its decision to enforce the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0 requirement for installing Windows 11. This policy, recently defended just a week ago, sparked widespread frustration as millions of otherwise capable systems were arbitrarily deemed ...

Who is doing this?!? If you are a business user, your company should pay for a new PC. If you are a gamer, you have a year to upgrade your MB. Everyone else has a year to figure out if Linux is right for them. At this point, Linux can perfectly cover most non-business users or those who are not multiplayer online gamers.
The amount of corporate environments running old builds, 3+ patches behind or pro/home versions would shock anybody with an inkling of security awareness.
If you're going to run Windows as a business and especially if you're going to rely on Defender, you gotta be on top of shit. Most are woefully far outside of that
I play Xonotic btw. You can play minecraft and terraria on Linux too.
I play tons of games on Linux. I was mainly referring to AAA online multiplayer games with anti-cheat like COD, Valorant, Apex Legends, etc.
I got the notice to update to 11 a long time ago, then months later a notice my work laptop did not comply with requirements of TPM, but CPU OK.
For my HP workstation it had TPM 1.x and there was a firmware update that brought chip up to TPM 2.0. After I did that the W11 then said CPU doesn't pass.
Then recently CPU is fine. LOL
They don't even know what they want.
For home stuff everything is moved to Linux.
