Debian should come in handy if that happens

I have a laptop got it back in 2015 and has no TPM, glad windows 11 isn’t supported.

Msft executives will spend 7 figures on McKinsey asking why did their share of OS tanked when they forced through this unpopular decision.

I’m sure corporate customers are super impressed that Windows 11 requires a TPM. It’ll save them the hassle of anti-virus, MFA, email scanning, zero trust network security, Internet filtering, etc.

An ISO tool can make a USB device that can ByPass the hardware requirements in Windows 11.

I am going to buy a $1000USB PC to run Windows 11. I run Ubuntu on my laptop because it is too slow to run Windows 10. I feel that when Win 10 is no loner supported by Microsoft there will be a Linux Exodus for users of older PCs.

Corollary: I have an x220 and a T420. Very similar laptops. The x220 is fairly snappy running Win10; the T420 is laggy and freezy running Kubuntu.

Confounding factors:

- T420 has 12GB; x220 has 16GB - T420 is modded with 2560x1440 screen - T420 upgraded Sandy Bridge => Ivy Bridge
