From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

They haven’t dropped the requirement, but you have to manually go in and disable that check yourself on the windows 11 installer if you want to install it on a non-tpm 2.0 machine
Basically, it’s a faff that only the techie people will realistically do. Everyone else will just go out and buy new hardware.
For those wondering, no it isn't just a check box. You need to create some registry files.
It is a checkbox in Rufus. Ventoy will also do this for you.
You need to uncheck the checkbox so the iso can install on non tpm hardware but you also need to tweak the registry when installing windows so the installer doesn't check for tpm compatability.
As if anyone is building a computer who isn't a techie 🤣
If you can't figure out tpm you're going to have a bad fucking time with MB and case headers. There number of people who have purchased comforter parts, and got stuck on tpm only to return them is probably in the hundreds worldwide.
Imagine thinking the custom build market is the only way to get a PC.
Yeah because techies are buying Dell in bulk 🙄
