My wife has finally agreed to let me install Linux on her laptop after all the shit MS is trying to pull.

This kinda stuff just further cements her decision tbh

If your PC doesn’t support Windows 11 then it makes sense to switch to Linux. But staying on an EOL OS when you could upgrade is plain stupid.

I've tried to use 11 multiple times in VMs and other peoples computers and I just hate that awful shit. It's the biggest downgrade since 8 and 8.1
