Didn't they get rid of some 11 requirements? Won't most regular people just do the upgrade to 11?

If you use Windows as mere game launcher, you better have a application firewall set to whitelist Steam only anyway.
My Windows 10 PC's only function at this point is to play FFXIV in my living room, so I'm not super worried about viruses or anything.
But maybe eventually I'll switch to Linux on that box and do that weird set-up to get FFXIV running there.
Never again, bye Microsoft Windows 😁 Hi GNU/Linux my new friend.
Why is Bill Gates in the picture? lol
Ill bet right before the deadline, they will magically make TPM optional, even though they said they wouldn't.
Just imagine 43 % market share in the next hardware survey.
I dual boot but I'm on Windows 11 for my windows partition because the fucking thing just upgraded itself one day.
I’ll be switching fully to Linux this summer, but will also “upgrade” windows 10 to 11 on the last week of support. I’ll only use it then if I have to, on a separate drive.
Build new computer. Old computer to be a home server running Linux or something fancy.
linux, either endeavor or nobara
Linux. I've been putting if off because of hardware reasons that would be annoying to explain beyond the solution is upgrading the motherboard, which is bottlenecking me anyways.
I will dualboot to keep a windows 10 for software that only runs on it, but I really hope I will be able to be gaming on linux only.
Come to Linux, it's all I've used since Windows 7 and it works great.
Installed kubuntu on the laptop so I can get used to it. Still trying to find a AV and firewall app I like
