It’s the best Linux advertisement ever.

I would have upgraded to Windows 11, but they decided my processor is “too old”, so now I don’t use Windows at all.

My PC is really up to date and yet somehow it fails the Windows 11 ‘test’ you can run. Not sure why but it’s pretty nice so I haven’t looked into it.

If your PC was bought in the last 5 or so years, it’s probably just the TPM being disabled in bios.

Hm that seems like something I’d want even if I don’t want Windows 11

Same happened to my work computer about 2 years ago. The i5 was “too old”. Work tossed the laptop and bought a new one. I asked the IT manager if I could buy the old i5 from them, he just gave it to me, since it was already written off (no HDD, though). It’s running Linux now on an SSD, is fully updated, and still runs faster than the i9 on nvme they replaced it with to run win11. Win-win in this scenario, I guess.
