    Good grief, I hadn’t heard about this kind of problem yet. Increasing glad my laptop is too old for it and my Windows volume is still on 10.

    edit: though I should add that if it becomes necessary to update to 11, that Tiny11 doesn’t require TPM and has problematic things stripped out, and in a VM it seems to be updating properly without issues.

      Well, at least for me, although it works as it should, there is no reason to change. W10 will be supported until 2025, I think even longer, similar to W7, which also survived several years longer than the announced end of support, due to the large number of users. In W10 you can still make changes to improve privacy and retain more sovereignty, this ends with W11 and 12, with these MS is the owner of your PC. When W10 ends, there will be many excellent Linux distros out there, this is clear to me.

        Oh I don’t plan to switch either anytime soon, just making it known as a lightweight option that gets around the restrictions. I haven’t used Win11 beyond installing Tiny11 in a VM, so I’m entirely ignorant regarding any pros or cons about practical use of it.

        edit: should add that there’s also a Tiny10, but for me the most recent one is stuck not installing some updates in the VM, still trying to work that out.
