If someone is feeling locked into the Microsoft ecosystem, empowering them to unshackle themselves from a large part of it is important. It makes the transition later so, so much easier when you don’t need to figure out OS-agnostic softwares across the board.
That said, if you are thinking of ripping the band-aid off all at once, I am 100% on board with it. Just not everyone is ready for it.
That was the direction I was getting. Plus linux works fine without TPM 2.0, unlike windows 11. So no real need to axe existing hardware, and unlike the bad old days your hardware is likely well supported.
That’s like saying you can continue to do business with the guy who keeps trying to stab you, if you stay out of arm’s reach.
It’s not wrong, but it’s ignoring the underlying issue.
What? Do you NOT do business regularly with Roberto from Futurama?
Roberto is a special case. For him it isn’t a choice, for microsoft it is.
