I mean most computers worldwide can't even install it offically given the TPM requirements and so forth.
Windows 11 is really a massive fuck you to everyone in the global south with its absurd requirements. I'm not spending multiple months salary to buy a laptop or upgrade my computer to run a reskinned windows 10 (let's be honest that's what Windows 11 is right now), that still has the ancient control panel in it, which is needed to accomplish anything actually useful. Along with the dreaded MMCs.
MMCs make the command line/terminal seem like the peak of user friendliness lmao.
Yeah you can't install it on any computer that's more than like 4 years old. My desktop (which seems about as good as new) and school laptop can't install it, despite them being perfectly capable computers. I think Microsoft just made some deal with OEMs or something because all Windows 11 will do is create some more e-waste.
Yeah it's only 8th generation and up Intel CPUs, so you're right there. I guess it would make sense if windows 11 was this shiny new OS that's been completely reworked, but it's just not.

Wait! What the fuck!?! LMAO! I've got a i7-4770k running eight threads at 4.3 GHz. This thing can run multiple virtual machines concurrently. It can emulate Playstation 3 games in near-realtime. Apparently this is e-waste.

It doesn't have that TPM 2.0 so it's worthless to Microsoft lmao.
You can install Windows 11 unofficially with TPM disabled and it will work just fine, Microsoft is just full of shit as per usual.
Windows 10 should not be getting end of life support at 2025. We should get 10 years of security updates after the final windows 10 feature update.

I guess I'll just keep shoveling more mothballs into the Windows 10 partition I boot three times a year.
I actually groaned when I heard there was a Windows 11 with how much of a shitshow 10 has been. Like do you think they're going to make the shittiness (spyware/adware) LESS bad, or WORSE. Hmm. I wonder. Pretty sure the only people excited for W11 are the shareholders who were promised a gorillian dollars because they put ads in the search bar. For everyone else, it's just "Ugh I have to install MORE programs just to make this shit usable"
Once they started forcing people to "upgrade" against their will, the writing was on the wall that each version of windows would become shittier and shittier.
if linux could run some of the niche software i use id be 9000% swapped over rn :sadness: we need someone to leak microsofts source code so that linux people can bootleg windows app
WINE sometimes runs niche windows software better than Windows itself. Might be worth a shot!
What software? Worst case is it runs in a VM, though there are solutions to make the software run in a VM but appear as a normal window on your desktop.
And Windows source code has been leaked/shared before, it's not the bottleneck. Besides, looking at any Windows source disqualifies you from contributing to Wine/ReactOS by default.
I think I read someone's comment saying "Windows 11 is 80% graphic design" and I agree with that
Pretty sure they had major features updates of Windows 10. They should've stuck with that and what mac had been doing. Just give names to the major releases bur all under the umbrella of "windows 10".
If they actually cleaned up the giant mess of spaghetti legacy code that makes up Windows and turned it into a rolling release OS it might not be complete shit, but that would require actual investment on Microsoft's part.
I love these totally contentless articles. You could sum it up in one sentence; "Windows 11 only has 20% adoption with windows users due to lack of new features, invasive spyware, and unreasonable hardware requirements." Bam. That' s that article.
Windows 10: let's have 2 entirely different sets of UI in the settings that do almost the same thing but not quite.
Windows 11: let's do that, but for the whole operating system.
Wait, but I thought that every other Windows OS sucking was actually intentional, because the previous popular OS won't have its end of life until two OSes from then, so Microsoft doesn't try with every other OS?
