>Some otherwise-fast processors can't run it. And without Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0, you're going nowhere. Out of the half-dozen Windows 10 systems I or my partner owned in 2020, not one could run Windows 11. The 8th gen processor requirements are really craziness. what kind of mainstream operating system is supposed to not run on four year old hardware?

Microsoft contributing to the burning up of the planet.. in a few years they'll EOL Windows 10 and millions of fast-enough computers will become e-waste because people will be too lazy to learn Linux.

  >and millions of fast-enough computers will become e-waste because people will be too lazy to learn Linux. No they won't. People will happily continue using Windows 10 and 7. Anybody that wants to sell software to Windows users will probably understand that many users won't be on Windows 11 and will therefore offer versions for 7 and 10.

Well, 2021 might be the year of the Linux Desktop afterall.

  If Linux somehow manages to run Adobe Cc suite, AAA games and surpass anti cheat restrictions on major games. Yes probably.

    Many AAA games already run on Linux and anti cheat restrictions are on their way with some already being here (epic released their anti cheat for linux like a month ago) due to steam deck.

      What many AAA do you speak of? Many steam tops are Borked, And there is no support for EA, Blizzard and Activision games on linux. If if some manage to run, the setup is so horrible for a normal user. Even if the anti cheat restrictions are on the way I don’t see Linux as desktop contender in gaming at-least in the next 2-3 years.

Well it runs very well on older platforms, it's just not allowed to. My PC has a 6th generation Intel. Years ago, I subscribed to the dev channel of Windows 10 because I wanted to try WSL (the first one). I kinda forgot to "exit" the dev channel, and a few months back my computer was upgraded to Windows 11 silently. No issues since then, except that now I need to reinstall Windows 10 apparently. I was only upgraded to 11 to get a taste of it as a thank you, but now that it's been released it's over. Honestly, if they knew from the start I would have to roll back, a prompt would have been nice before updating. Or just let me keep 11 since it works.
