Should just use Linux, tbh.

windows 11: doesn't work without tpm 2.0

(some) linux distro: doesn't work if tpm 2.0 enabled

[–] Maganra@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

You can get windows 11 working on non tpm 2.0 systems. It's a soft requirement that Microsoft enforces with the stock installer but can be bypasses.

You can, but MS disables automatic updates without telling you. I have TPM but my CPU is one generation too old apparently, so they silently disabled updates on my machine and I didn't realise I was still on 21H2 until a couple of weeks ago and had to manually update it.

The manual update worked and it didn't warn me about anything or encounter any issues, but that was a massive pain.

My cpu is also to old (5960x) but I get automatic updates. There are/were multiple methods to getting windows 11 to work on invalid hardware, maybe some don't work with auto updates.

No automatic updates? That sounds like a complete win

Which distro? Now I'm curious.

[–] redcalcium@lemmy.institute 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

This is probably hardware-specific, but I installed void linux on my thinkpad x1 last week, and it can't shutdown or wake up from sleep until I disabled tpm 2.0 from bios. Very weird. Other distros I tried so far didn't have this problem.

First time I've heard about it. Anything similar with different hardware?

[–] QuarterSwede@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Windows 11 does, just not by default. My HP elitedesk 800 G3 server doesn’t have TPM 2.0 and it’s running 11 fine and without a MS account.

Yea with Rufus you can disable those requirements before installing.
