FIRST: if you feel the urge to say "get a PC" or "try linux" please don't. This is about apple/mac/macos hardware. suggestions to linux or other things isn't helpful. I have a macbook pro, 32G ram, lightning fast nvme…

Just a thought. So as I understand it, largely the only reason for the "your computer can't run windows 11" thing is because of TPM 2.0 as a minimum. This creates a vast array of unusable computers that are stuck on TPM…
