Or maybe they will launch Win 12 with optional TPM support.

Imho making the OS(es) TPM only cannot be good for their business, many people are still on Win 10 with no intention to switch, since their motheboard does not support TPM and do not want to upgrade PC / waste PCI-E slot on TPM extension.

      Not everyone wants to buy separate hardware for gaming, OP mentioned in another comment that Linux doesn’t play well with their laptop if they want to play games on it. It’s funny to see some of the Linux crowd being unable to admit that it just isn’t as plug and play as running Windows… Especially with an Nvidia GPU.

        Eh? I wasn’t suggesting they buy separate hardware. I was just responding to the comment about Linux being cancer for gaming. The Steam Deck is literally proof that the OS is completely viable for gaming. I’ve been gaming just fine on my desktop with an Nvidia 3090. Linux really isn’t as bad as you think it is. It’s funny how there’s a bunch of Windows users that refuse to believe that gaming can happen on another OS. Just sounds close minded tbh.

      Dude just wants Microsoft-sempai to notice him. I don’t think reason or facts are very useful

        Lol.

        Just look at the comments here about gaming problems on Linux.

        Seriously - you never see these problems on windows these days.

        “We’ll, just buy different hardware” is one answer. Imagine saying that to someone who has an extant gaming setup running windows.

          You mean OP whose hardware will be obsolete for running up to date Windows and it’s on the bargaining stage of grief?

          I use Linux for gaming. I have no problems nor I’ve found a game I can’t play. I know there are, just that no game I wanted to play had idea issues, and I don’t even check before buying them anymore. And I’m supposed to have bad hardware for Linux, having had Nvidia all my life.

          Most comments I’ve seen are from people who haven’t tried, just parrot what others parroted.
