#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 away from Windows (and its increasing invasion of privacy), AND prevent literal tons of e-waste.

@killyourfm I'm a long-time Windows user and this is my plan - hoping to get Mint installed on my home PC over the holidays 🙂

@Dunstable That's awesome! Mint is a solid choice.
There are PLENTY of people around here to lend a hand if you have any questions. Happy Linuxing!

@killyourfm @Dunstable Linux mint hates me. I just can't get it to work. There's a 60% chance each time I boot that it won't even connect to my router 😞 I've given up on it. I really wanted to ditch Windoze.
