It’s for your own good, mind (and some Windows 11 users will get this too)
  • A new patch is being quietly pushed to Windows 10 (and 11) PCs
  • It’ll force upgrades in certain circumstances to keep the PC in support
  • This update will mean more nag prompts coming to your PC

    Mine said I couldn’t upgrade because of the no TPM thing. Turns out it’s just off by default on a lot of mobos.

    Secondly, there’s a program called Rufus that can create a bootable flash drive with Windows 11 but removes stuff like the TPM requirements, the need for Microsoft account sign in, all the bad stuff etc

    I’d been avoiding it for a year until I learned about Rufus but now that I’ve installed it, you know what? Without all the bloat, it’s a fucking smooth OS. Really excellent multitasking windows and fast too

    Lemmy shits on it because “muh Linux” but if you install it right, it’s fucking excellent for the vast, vast majority of people

      We shit on it because you need a crack to make it work properly in the first place.

      I don’t use linux for my desktop either though because my computer is a tool, not a hobby.

          Yup, that’s why I got a Mac. It works perfectly out of the box, no rugged edges apps, no drivers/hw concerns, excellent battery time. Best UNIX laptop for the time being.

          I give you as main flaws the cost and the irreparability of the hardware and maybe missing out on a few games but that is probably a tie with Linux, since it runs the same emulators/transcoder if needed.

            As some one who runs both: no, not even close. Mac has more direct ports than Linux true, but proton vastly outweighs that. I have dozens of games that show up on steam on my mac as unplayable where as I dont have any that wont run under proton.

            Five years ago you’d probably have been right, but Linux is far superior to OSX for gaming now.

            (E: assuming you’re talking about an apple silicon macbook, IDK the status of proton on x86 macs maybe it works there?)
