Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    I read an article that MS has backed off almost entirely on Win 11's requirements. Now it's a checkbox, "Your hardware isn't supported so you accept responsibility if you have problems."

    As long as it's newer than Pentium 4, you are probably fine.

    Win 11 now only needs popcnt (a newer instruction added 15 years ago) and sse4.2.

    I think my limiting factor is TPM 2.0 which I believe isn't supported by the device but is required by windows 11

    You can modify the Windows 11 iso to bypass the requirements. You can tick a checkbox in Rufus when creating the install media to have it do it for you.

    Well after looking further it's actually the processor isn't supported in general so Linux it is! It's going to be a hard sell to my partner who doesn't like using office 365 on the browser because "it screws up templates". If even Microsoft's tools screw up I can't imagine libre office would do any better so that's an even harder sell... Sigh.

    When did this happen?

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

    It was in my news feed 2 days ago and as is the nature of the modern Internet, today I cannot find the article using Google.
