There's a lot of stuff that still doesn't run on linux as far as I know.

Adobe suite is the only one I've encountered

If it runs Windows 10 - it runs Linux too.

I mean the software I'm running on Win 10. As far as I know, a lot of it still won't run on linux.

Anyway, moot point since people said in this thread that you can bypass the TPM and Microsoft account requirements with Rufus. So anyone should be able to upgrade to Win 11.

Oh shit, I've been installing win 11 on a bunch of old hardware, didn't realize what the big fuss was about it. I also use Rufus exclusively. Didn't realize it was working so smoothly because I used Rufus haha

Huh. It's almost as if Microsoft just wants more money from people buying a new computer with their new OS. No one could see that coming.

Yeah Microsoft is ripping EVERYONE off with a free upgrade 🙄

Bunch of nerds screaming over a free upgrade. Shocked.
