Will Microsoft drop the TPM requirement for Win 11 once Win 12 rolls around? (lemmy.world)

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.

Having recently switched myself I actually have experienced less issues and better game performance from Linux than I did on Windows, at least with the games I play and the hardware I have.

Definitely not what I would call cancer

"at least with the games I play"

As mentioned in a recent article that was shared around here, for the games that work on Linux performance on average is 17% better, for the games that don't work on Linux, performance is infinitely better on Windows 😛

For sure, but these days the main offenders are online multiplayer games with restrictive anti-cheats.

I would go so far as to say if those specific types of games are not your thing you aren't likely to experience any issues gaming on Linux.

I'm sure there are exceptions, but every time I think "oh this game for sure won't work" I have eaten my words.

And it's like a night and day difference from the last time I tried to do this about a year and a half ago. The progress I've seen is almost more impressive than the performance gains. 🤷

But if you switch to Linux for gaming, and the game you want to play doesn't work... Well it's not like you can trade that 17% performance improvement in to get the game to function.

That's a huge roadblock if you don't know what games won't work.

You can always dual boot for those games ... A pain, I know, but doable.

Might even be able to run it on VM, especially if you set up a type 2 hypervisor. Again, that's it's own pain, but really should only be that on initially getting it to work rather than every time

But if I have to have a full Windows installation that I need to keep up to date, with the full setup of drivers and other software that I need to run games, what advantage does an average person (not software dev/IT enthusiast) have from running a second OS for the things that do work on both OSes?

It's kinda like saying "This racing kit car is amazingly fast, you can tinker on it and reconfigure it, and for everything that you can't do in the kit car, you can just keep a family minivan around".

That's nice for a racing/car enthusiast. But most people just want one car to do all they need.
