#Microsoft recently wrote that TPM 2.0 is a "a non-negotiable standard for the future of Windows." This pretty much confirms it won't back down on its hardware requirements for Windows 11, an OS that is seriously struggling to gain new users (~35% of Windows users) after 3 years.
When October 2025 rolls around and support for Windows 10 ends, this will force tens of millions of people to unnecessarily buy new hardware.
#Linux community: We have work to do.
More context:
It's estimated that a staggering 240 million PCs currently running Windows 10 aren't "capable" of upgrading to Windows 11.
As you know, those PCs can easily run any flavor of #Linux. It's a massive opportunity to get people off Windows, AND prevent literal tons of e-waste.
@killyourfm I honestly think Microsoft wants that and wants to distance itself from the operating system business. Why else would they be so hostile to users? They’re trying to make what profits they can, but know Linux and other OS’s are good enough. There is no insanely profitable future for them in that space, and the longer they hang out there, the higher the opportunity cost.
