You can use windows 11 without TPM. It’s just not made easy for casual users.
I know this is linuxmemes and that this will be an unpopular opinion, but a lot of the complaints about windows I see linux users make, are based on a lack of knowledge. Sure, MS doesn’t make it particularly easy, but linux isn’t always particularly easy to install or get working well for casual users either. Whether it’s linux or windows, a quick google goes a long way to solving most issues.
I’m behind the idea of GNU, but it’s weird how so many linux memes could easily be turned into equally ill informed pro-MS memes. Obviously, MS isn’t a nice company and I don’t think anyone’s a genuine MS fanboy, but still.
There are, in effect, hacks to get around the requirement. That is not the same thing as it not being required. You manage to get Windows 11 installed on a system without TPM, you’re not in a supported configuration and could at any time find yourself locked out of updates or even your system, and it’ll likely at least be a cat and mouse game.
Yep I know You can run Window 11 without TPM I even installed it once but here we are talking about recommended requirement(You just need a decent CPU on Linux)
Let’s be real. It’s a lie that linux’s only requirement is a CPU. Wrong hardware, because some vendors don’t support linux properly or at all, and linux isn’t fun.
The same thing can be said about plenty of configurations and linux. Plenty of laptops or the wrong nvidia card, and you’re likely to have to find a workaround too.
Hell, bypassing the TPM requirement is almost certainly easier than creating your own driver for an nvidia card or problemsolving wifi issues because your laptop’s network card manufacturer doesn’t give a fuck about linux users.

There are also ways to get around nvidia cards without good linux drivers or laptops with unsupported wifi cards.

I’m glad my 400MHz MIPS with 64 megs of RAM and 16 megs of flash is decent
Openwrt distro be like)
If It can run Doom then it’s more than Decent ;)

I don’t agree the fact there is workaround mivroaoft’s bs doesn’t mean that it is supported.

Like the one where Linus is getting telemetry from your machines and putting security at risk with essentially a C&C ping waiting for instructions.
No, that’s a genuinely good and well informed reason to not use windows.
