The purpose of the TPM is to ensure the integrity of the system boot sequence has not been tampered with. Each time you boot your computer a hash gets generated and the TPM compares that hash to known “good” hashes. If the TPM notices that the hash is bad, it means a part of the boot sequence has been compromised.

@@souptaels As a former Windows user, I think I can answer this half-question. The thing that most Linux geeks talk about is open source and non-proprietary. Almost every single Linux distro is open source (along with many programs that run on it), which means you can freely look at, change, and distribute the source code of the operating system. With Windows, that is not possible. This allows Linux users to fully customize every aspect of the operating system, from the width of the scroll bars, to the underlying architecture of the OS. Also, you can be sure that there's no spyware built in, since all of the code running it is freely viewable.

Since my old ass main pc doesn’t support Windows 11, I’m gonna finally use a gnu/lnux distro on it (until I get a hardware upgrade, then I’ll dual boot with Win 11 for gaming)

[@martinsauer5311]

My recommendation to start with is Linux Mint. Feels very fast. Only uses like 9-10 GB after installation unlike windowsˋ 35 GB and feels similar to Windows 7.

[@yjr4df758]

isn't windows 10 really bad for dual booting? windows 11 is probably similar

[@dorukayhanwastaken]

"until I get a hardware upgrade" If you end up getting a machine with two GPUs (i.e. CPU's integrated graphics + actual GPU) you could dedicate the stronger GPU to a Windows VM using PCI passthrough to get near-native performance with no chance of your dual boot setup breaking.

6:07 - Theres so much wrong here: First of all, this is the exact defenition of people disliking something because its just different. Also, you shouldnt be ranting about needing to activate windows to change the taskbar alignment as if you dont have windows activated, it probably means you have pirated windows. You dont rant about pirated games not allowing you to play multiplayer, right? well, same thing applies here.

[@annoyinguser]

So you're telling me that we might not be able to install a Linux or BSD if Microsoft decides to not allow us to do it? That stinks. Even more if you are not able to upgrade your device down the road.

[@masonthedunce3711]

1:40 they are not saying existing laptops must, they are saying when manufacturers make new laptops with the fancy Microsoft seal of approval, to get it they must have those features. also, tape exists and you can probably do something about the Bluetooth radio too.

I have been using these systems for 35 years, mostly Mac and somewhat Windows. In recent years, I have observed how little genuine regard a lot of companies have for their customers. Fortunately, there's a way out for me. In my current job, I have to set up and administer a Linux Debian box. While Debian requires a great deal of attention and it can be quite frustrating, I also see how much more control over the system a user has. I am probably on my last or penultimate Mac now. I plan to switch to Linux in a year or two. I hope it will be worth the switch.

[@bryants6938]

It will worth it! As long as you patience in learning. It took me around a week to grasp the basic with using terminal which called "power user". Nowaday Linux is more friendly to Immigrant/New Users. You dont need to have everything works with Terminal even though it is *REALLY Recommended*. It works like kind of windows now, you could just use the UI (store,update,etc.) But production software has some problem. If the software exist in linux then its good if not WINE could help but not always. If this doesnt work, either you do DUAL-BOOTING (Linux&other OS) or search software alternative. Nowadays pro production software alternative have stepped up their game like LibreOffice compared to MsOffice, DaVinciResolve with AdobePremiere. If were talking about game it has been a lot better, with the help of WINE and PROTON most steam game available to play (with workaround) except Anti-Cheat games. You could even play EPIC GAMES games. Too bad most of the time you couldnt play Indie Games though.

@@bryants6938, thanks for the boost of confidence. I have little doubt that there are analogs to the common office suites. I even have downloaded and tried LibreOffice on my Linux box. My current stymies are twofold: (1) that I can’t move files between Linux and Mac. I’m flummoxed, as you can well imagine. Now, Debian is running inside a VirtualBox on a host Mac OS. so it must be in the interaction. (2) I couldn’t get Guest Additions to work to handle files between Debian and Mac OS. GA does work on Ubuntu and the service command on the Debian terminal tells me GA is running. I’m sure I’ll figure it out. Thanks for the boost of confidence!

[@LoesserOf2Evils]

@@bryants6938, no doubt. It's just new to me. In a while, I'll probably have enough skill to copy the file out of the virtual machine onto the desktop. Thanks again!

Taskbar on the side makes most sense for people who are writing code ever since we switched to widescreen monitors. I keep it on the left

[@asimocloud5736]

If you have low system requirements/windows 11 is too bloated for you/don’t want Linux, You can actually use xp and vista, low system resources, xp and vista have undergoing extended kernels being made (unofficial) with which you could use much more modern apps (x64 mostly preferred for this extended kernel as x86 is still very young and may not work as expected). And the stuff about not able to customise your desktop without activating windows 11, I am pretty sure you could change some keys in the registry to remove those restrictions. I mean Microsoft is freely giving a fix for it lol

[@alicemadness999]

just wondering, where can you download this updated kernel of windows xp?

[@asimocloud5736]

@@alicemadness999 I’m not involved in it for a long time but I think there is still a MSN page up for it. Lemme send a link of a few videos showing how to apply this

I stuck with windows 11 ever since the betas, because it looks so good. Last week i moved to linux because its just better in *almost every way, and i can still make it look sexy. Waiting on a new hard drive at the moment so i can dual boot windows 11 for games and nobara linux for everything else.
