I personally wouldn't trust Microsoft to not find some way of releasing an update completely bricking Windows 11 installs on older computers

the whole TPM requirement is fake and gay anyway. ms WANTS people to use win11, with or without it, so I don't see much reason to prevent that.

otoh, this is microsoft, they've always been the biggest reason to not update or move to linux.

At some point I wonder if they'll just drop the TPM requirement and auto update you to 11 anyway.

You can very obviously run Win 11 without it being enabled, so...

They introduced the requirement in part to reduce vulnerability to firmware-level attacks and eliminate the vulnerability PIN logon had to brute-force attacks. They're not going to change that because some luddite with a 10-year-old laptop expects to be supported with software updates forever.

Besides, there's already consumer software now that won't launch if Windows 11 is installed without a TPM. Valorant's kernel-level anticheat requires it.
 
Thank you to all that gave me advise, you were very insightful!

I am not really interested in running W11 for the foreseeable future. I just wanted for my PCs to not download updates and apply them when I left them hibernating/sleeping. I will instead try to find a happy spot with zorin os (or any other friendly distro) to move my workspace there. Thankfully most of the equipment that I own have behaved well with inkscape. I just need to adapt to the software offerings there and for the oodballs have a virtual machine running either windows 7 or 10
 
Getting really sick of this communist kikery. Just woke up to a faggy copilot data sucking app on my taskbar. Does anyone know how to remove Microshaft's gay shit that I didn't consent to (microshaft edge very much included)? I'm not shocked at all by this mutt-programmed machine learning though - the gay smile emojis, the commiefornian nu-speak, the fake niceties, the big brother cocksucking. It's not even AI (which they've used like a meme to try and sell you shit the past few years) it's just biased human-programmed machine learning used by Americanda's oligarchs to rape society further and help them create and control all context.

Nobara was autistic with Nvidia, Mint and Zorin were reliant on a fucking app store to (not) install things and terminal didn't help. For some reason, despite having faster average net speed than Windows, somehow downloads always failed. It's almost impossible to download files and install whenever and wherever, you have to use either the retarding stores, or be "terminally online" and use the terminal, and you need to update every "package" everytime you want to install anything. Also in Linope, you need root/superuser to do things you could in Windows without even admin (not 10+ ofc.). Yet it supposedly gives the user more control than windows. I should've known, android is basically a linux distro and with each version it's given the user less control, fucking Microshaft included it in malware 11, and 10shills sing linux praises everytime win7 users try to look for workarounds.
The overal liteness and portability means it can be a good everyday OS, but go even one step above and everything falls apart.

i am so fucking tired of seeing that claim be repeated by retards who use their computer as if it were an ipad, you can't even use linux without setting a password for your account, a password which you will be forced to enter every single time you want to update / install anything

If you're willing to dig around in the PAM configs, you can change that. I set up my Linux machines like tractors, as long as you have your Yubikey plugged in you can do everything without manually typing a password. I haven't tried, but I bet you could completely disable passwords (or at least anything ever asking you for one) if you really, really wanted.

already tried that myself years ago but i was not able to get it working properly, random programs would keep whining about lack of permissions no matter what once the password prompts were disabled

but if it's really an option and it does work now, why make the user to deal with config file stupidity instead of making it an option in distro installers? not even enterprise windows forces you to set a password for the administrator account

does that even disable any of the prompts outside the terminal? that was the main issue i had back then

also, why do you guys hate nice things?

What were you doing to get sudo prompts outside the terminal? Only time I get something like that is when I'm messing around with VM images, and only because I'm doing that wrong in the first place (Since I'm messing around with the images I should be storing them in a folder owned by the libvirt group I'm a member of, and thus wouldn't need to elevate permissions to mess with them. I don't make that change because it would be three terminal commands and I'm lazy and keep thinking "this time will be the last time I'm messing with this stuff anyway").

does this count as a sudo prompt? these are so annoying and unnecessary
Click to expand...
Yeah, I'd say that qualifies. I also agree it's unnecessary on a personal computer (though super important on a workstation, which is after all what Linux is designed around). You should be able to disable it by changing your sudo policy.
In the terminal, type EDITOR=nano visudo and uncomment the line like in

Hit Ctrl+O and Ctrl+X to save and exit. You may need to log out and back in again for the change to apply, I dunno.
