It's a rare treat to see somebody raise a concern while at the same time doing something (PR + discussion). Kudos to you!

I've seen other similar lists with the same issues (c7 I think?).

This is going to be a mesh if all private email providers are blocked.

Feels like ages ago interacting directly with wine. Wine tricks, Play on Linux, Crossover, Lutris, Bottles and Steam with Proton. Each one better and better and simpler than the previous.

And let's not forget Nvidia drivers. For the past 3 years at least they are just baked into the the Distros I use, even less work to make them work than Windows.

This. I always use that example, ChatGPT is stack overflow or a very eager intern. Review and make test cases

I'm not familiar with MacOS, but what's preventing Adobe from updating? Is it updating from the App store and apple just stops delivering the updates after EOL or is it that Adobe doesn't bother pushing updates for OS versions past their EOL?

In any case, it sucks that apple decides that a otherwise perfectly capable computer is no longer supported just due to age (like with phones I guess...)

Yeah, I know it's nothing new. Just an example of what Microsoft offers to people on his situation and how Microsoft won't suddenly backtrack on W12.

More than it being half baked, it's that is not a drop in replacement. It works differently, on purpose. So DEs, apps and even drivers (looking at you Nvidia) need to make changes to adapt to it.

For example apps that user screen sharing had to be reworked, because X11 allowed any app to just see the screen without any user action (I think Windows also does this, Android and iOS require at least a one time permission), but Wayland doesn't allow that as it's a security/privacy risk.

You mean OP whose hardware will be obsolete for running up to date Windows and it's on the bargaining stage of grief?

I use Linux for gaming. I have no problems nor I've found a game I can't play. I know there are, just that no game I wanted to play had idea issues, and I don't even check before buying them anymore. And I'm supposed to have bad hardware for Linux, having had Nvidia all my life.

Most comments I've seen are from people who haven't tried, just parrot what others parroted.

You can tinker your way around it, and hope Microsoft doesn't change anything that breaks the workaround. Doesn't make OPs less funny.

Not really, the only saltines comes from OPs tears all over this post.

It's just so fun seeing how OP is faced with either having an unsecure system or having to pay to replace his otherwise perfectly capable machine, but still has so much loyalty to Microsoft (or he's in extreme denial) that he's throwing shit at everybody,even those who just explain Microsoft won't drop the requirement.

But it's ok, my non TPM machines will continue to work for years, always up to date. And when 12 rises the requirements yet again I'll laugh at all the people crying that a trillion dollars company isn't hearing them.

Here's why it's against Microsoft interest to drop TPM requirement. They will paywall updates for Windows 10. So, pay for software updates or pay for hardware updates.

Because there is no possible alternative /S

Dude just wants Microsoft-sempai to notice him. I don't think reason or facts are very useful

At the same time, Baldurs Gate 3 is the most played game (in hours) on the steam deck for the past 2 months. A game that had to be delayed on Xbox because the series S couldn't handle it.

If you see a large difference in performance Windows/Linux then dinner m something is not right. Might be Nvidia card with the open source drivers?
