From the Gizmodo author:
>I am still holding off on installing Windows 11
Do we also have a journalistic opinion from someone who actually bothered to install Windows 11 on a non supported PC to actually verify this?
No defending Windows 11 but the whole article is just a lazy opinionated piece without any proper journalistic research. Gizmodo is as reliable as Buzzfeed. I'm wondering how such lazy journalism ends up on HN front page. I guess since Win 11 is the tech community's favorite punching bag, HN will upvote any realated FUD on this matter, just like the TPM FUD that was floating around here.
Anecdotally, I have installed Win 11 on my parents laptop which is officially not supported, and have not seen any watermark yet.
