In a surprising turn of events, Microsoft has reversed its decision to enforce the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0 requirement for installing Windows 11. This policy, recently defended just a week ago, sparked widespread frustration as millions of otherwise capable systems were arbitrarily deemed incompatible, leaving many users feeling alienated. This backpedaling showcases yet again […]
Windows user asking for help with Windows != Windows user complain about Windows overall.
The first case, ok: you’re being an asshole, answer to questions not made just because you want to feel clever.
Second case, well, we need to check the specific wording/complains. But generally speaking, if someone complain about train or how train make them sick, you may as well introduce them to the concept of airplane/bus/carsharing/teleport or whatever.
In Linux case, I’ll go with sort of reply: “give it a try with this live [reliable] Linux disrto, if like the experience, you may as well try dual booting”
The headline is incorrect Microsoft has not reversed the TPM requirements. Soon the advice from people who help those with PCs who don’t meet TPM requirements will be either to buy a new computer or move to linux.
I don’t like this answer anymore than you do. It’s an eco-waste nightmare.
(You can bypass TPM requirements but it could end up being a huge headache as Microsoft makes no guarantee that they won’t randomly break things.)
Thanks for apologizing, not enough people are considerate in regards to the plight of the compu-renters, or “shareware” as we are commonly known. As a token of my acknowledgement of your submission, I am currently taking a shit.
I’m going to be honest here. If someone asks you for Windows help and you comment to tell them to use Linux, you’re an asshole, not clever.
I would say that depends on why they are asking for help, you have got to get to the root of the issue first.
What if I tell them to use Haiku?

Some people can’t see the problem because of the trees.
If your problem is not with windows, but windows at it’s core… Then the solution is to move. You also have Mac if that makes you happy

“There’s no elephant in this room.”
Windows is the problem. There’s the elephant. Your choice.
If not, I guess just keep waiting it out. I’m sure it will get better any day now.
Just like using gas cars is your choice when you coulda been using something open source like rickshaws
I’m sorry, I should’ve considered your situation.
I wasn’t aware you lacked the ability to use your computer. How inconsiderate. I was under the impression you weren’t renting it.

Or an EV
Or an electric rickshaw!
Probably a great vehicle. Lightweight, good range, etc
Just strap a rickshaw to 2 electric bikes taped together…job done! 👍
I’m not the one seeking help here, just calling out poor behavior. You’re helping no one with this constantly being posted.
If they’re still using Windows, they aren’t following the guide very well.
Fuckin up at step 1 doesn’t inspire confidence from me
