I wonder if there's a debloated version of Windows 11 that removes the TPM requirement...
Regardless, I'm this | | close to switching to Linux; I just need to make sure I can get OneDrive and full MS Office running in Linux reliably, since I need both for work. The Steam Deck has convinced me that I don't need Windows anymore for gaming, so it's only work holding me back. (Work pays me a stipend to maintain my own work computer hardware, so I do work on "my" machine.)
Edit: Looks like it's actually pretty easy to do.
If you are fine with the older office suite (2019 I believe), there is a codeweaver program called crossover. They are the teams that make WINE a reality and they have a one version license so you can own it forever. Or yeah, you can also use VM.
Nice, thanks! 2019 should be good enough; the guides I was looking at were suggesting much older versions for WINE compatibility.
I just need to look into OneDrive, now.
Yeah, that is if I remember it correctly. But I do remember installing a modern office suite back then using crossover. They also have trials so you can test your target program is indeed running as it should before buying.
