Weird hill to die on perhaps; but I'll never forgive Microsoft for arbitrarily deciding not to support my Core i7 6700K 4Ghz CPU on Windows 11.

Simply because: I cannot find a single actual technical reason why it wouldn't be compatible (yes, my mobo also has TPM). It's even higher specced than many other 'supported' chips.

MS apparently just decided I hadn't spent enough money lately. Well now I won't - on your products - ever again, while this i7 will continue to run Win 10 for games and Linux for all else.

Gaming is great on Linux nowadays btw. I installed Fedora a few weeks ago and haven't had a single problem with any of my games - I'm getting better framerates, too.

[–] dingus@lemmy.world 4 points 19 minutes ago

I'm in a similar boat. My computer meets all of the other requirements like TPM and whatnot, yet they are arbitrarily deciding that my processor is too old. And for some reason you can walk into your local computer store and buy a laptop with the shittiest processor and other specs possible that somehow runs Windows 11. Just because the processor on the new shitbox was manufactured more recently. Ridiculous.

Time to Linux it up!

Time to encourage people to switch to Linux instead

[–] dingus@lemmy.world 1 points 17 minutes ago

I can't get the more elaborate functions of my common Logitech mouse to work properly. And Linux systems like to cause my computer to periodically hang for some reason. In Windows, it used to BSOD, and I managed to fix the issue in Windows but it seems impossible for me to fix in Linux because of how vague of an issue it is.

Ugh. I'm going to have to seriously look at Linux, aren't I?

Absolutely no idea where to start with that, nor whether any of the software I need for work (or indeed anything else) is compatible, not how I'm going to find the time to learn all this.

Bleugh 😔

Installed mint on an older computer I had so my oldest daughter could have a pc for school. She has had zero problems using it.

[–] 0x0@programming.dev 14 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

Linux Mint is one of the most recommended for newbies.
You can use a live CD/USB to try it out without installing.

[–] nevermind@lemm.ee 2 points 39 minutes ago (1 children)

By newbie do you mean people who don’t know anything about computers ie me?

[–] maniclucky@lemmy.world 4 points 32 minutes ago (2 children)

Yes. It's probably the friendliest Linux distro. But there's still a learning curve so don't go in thinking it's as plug and play as Windows.

@maniclucky @nevermind
Linux Mint is indeed the friendliest of the Linux distros but one still needs at least a bit of experience with installing OS. The fundamental problem with Windows is that it comes pre installed on everything and most people had never needed to install an OS.

@nevermind, you need to find a friend who's done it or someone online willing to walk you though it. It's not very difficult but if you've never done it it could be a bit weird.

[–] nevermind@lemm.ee 2 points 23 minutes ago (1 children)

Thanks!

I won’t even ask what plug and play means…

[–] dingus@lemmy.world 3 points 16 minutes ago (1 children)

Plug and play essentially means "it just works". Like as simple as plugging in a USB mouse and using it. When something isn't plug and play, it means it takes a bit of fiddling with.

[–] nevermind@lemm.ee 1 points 11 minutes ago

Ah yes, thank you. A tiny part of my brain wondered if that was the meaning but it’s never safe to assume something when I’m as clueless as I am.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago

Mint, Zorin, and Ubuntu are the ones I always hear.

Windows 11 is the most secure Windows ever built

They've been saying that about every single one since that notoriously insecure one. ME, I think?

Also, I'm pretty sure that Tiny11 or the like is more secure if you consider data privacy important, since a lot of the privacy issues of Windows 11 are coming from the unnecessary parts of Windows itself..

[–] dev_null@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

I mean, one would hope that whenever there is a new version it's more secure than the last one. Not that it's true, but that's how it should be, so nothing weird about the claim.

that's how it should be, so nothing weird about the claim.

As long as you consider every claim Microsoft makes to be either a lie or inherently unprovable until the opposite is proven, that is. Which you should tbh.
