Microsoft has finally added the official CPU support list for Windows 11 version 24H2, and the company has strangely removed several Intel processors from it.

    They know that killing support early makes it easier for people to just buy new hardware, which likely has new windows purchased/included. More money, less effort. And since most environments are locked into the platform, no one gets away.

    I’m already moving a lot of hardware to Linux, but I’ll be damned if I give MS any more money.

      Linux Mint has been a massive upgrade over Windows 10/11 for me. It also still has support for my hardware. Running a 4770k Haswell processor from Intel. Just got forced into buying a new gpu in the form of an RX 6650 from AMD. All together for gaming and general purpose usage Linux is effectively on par with Windows now. Steam have done a lot of work for gamers to make it easier to game on non-windows platforms.
