>Wider hardware choice
You're joking right? Sure, something built in 2002 will probably still work well in Linux, but that's often the case for Windows, and on a Windows system, the hardware AND the proprietary software it came with will probably still work.
Meanwhile, in Linux land, if you don't buy very very very specific hardware you can never hope to have functional sleep.
- tremon 3y agoYou're joking right? Not as much as you. Windows 11 won't (officially) install on any system lacking a TPM v2.0. The only reason that Windows 11 can be installed without hassle on modern hardware is because every motherboard manufacturer started scrambling to outfit their systems with such a TPM by default. Also, for Windows Vista they completely rewrote their driver model for many devices, which means that no printer/scanner/sound card/graphics card from the year you mention has functioning drivers for any current Windows version. So no, something built in 2002 will most definitely not run current Windows. Even most systems built in 2018 will not run Windows 11.
