    and? Saying it has the same instruction set shows you actually don’t understand what is needed to run win 11. Of course you can force an upgrade as well. But people seems pissed at Microsoft but give Apple a free pass for being far more manipulative, and again Intel here is the reason as they were so shocking for years Apple decided it could and has done a better job!

      TPM is not needed either, it’s an arbitrary restriction.

        I said you can force an upgrade and not need tpm, but you’d like to argue about something that helps security? Really? The x86 instruction set is widely varying, you can run win 11 on older hardware but it doesn’t perform well. I guess that is something many don’t like but it is the same across the board and also with pretty much any OS. Hating upon Microsoft seems to be a popular thing on the fediverse though, and it is one of the things that ruins what could be a great resource

          kde plasma runs better than 11 as it’s user interface was not created with web tech.

          but my concerns about 11 are rather the further erosion of user privacy, on more fronts than just recall. automatic bitlocker encryption is also not something I can stand behind, several people lost all their data needlessly because of it.

      what is needed to run win 11.

      And that would be?
      x86 processors are fairly standardized, I don’t see anything that could be the reason for such exclusions…?
