    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.
