You can use windows 11 without TPM. It’s just not made easy for casual users.
I know this is linuxmemes and that this will be an unpopular opinion, but a lot of the complaints about windows I see linux users make, are based on a lack of knowledge. Sure, MS doesn’t make it particularly easy, but linux isn’t always particularly easy to install or get working well for casual users either. Whether it’s linux or windows, a quick google goes a long way to solving most issues.
I’m behind the idea of GNU, but it’s weird how so many linux memes could easily be turned into equally ill informed pro-MS memes. Obviously, MS isn’t a nice company and I don’t think anyone’s a genuine MS fanboy, but still.
There are, in effect, hacks to get around the requirement. That is not the same thing as it not being required. You manage to get Windows 11 installed on a system without TPM, you’re not in a supported configuration and could at any time find yourself locked out of updates or even your system, and it’ll likely at least be a cat and mouse game.
Yep I know You can run Window 11 without TPM I even installed it once but here we are talking about recommended requirement(You just need a decent CPU on Linux)
I prefer to put my swap partition on CD-RW.
I think you meant DVD-RAM.
Sup, that would actually be possible.
Anything can be ram if you wait long enough
That way you’ll know you’ve run out of physical memory when the cd-rom starts spinning up.
I hate that I kind of like this point…
Linux doesn’t wait for you to be out of memory to swap-out pages.
You can set swappiness to 0
Personally enjoy my swap on an iPod
I wonder if anyone has actually managed to do this
someone put swap on google drive
Android studio was asking for more ram, what else would i do?
Use dropbox like any pleb would
optional CPU?
Well, there are people running Linux in all manner of ways, like VRChat shaders.
A processor and ram is merely “recommended specs”
Not true. For modern Linux you need a processor with a memory controller and 8mb of ram. If also need to be a processor from the 21 century.
Not true. 20th century processors can run linux too
Openwrt beg to differ,
https://popovicu.com/posts/789-kb-linux-without-mmu-riscv/ here’s guide for mmu less Linux and here’s how it runs doom https://hackaday.com/2022/12/07/a-tiny-risc-v-emulator-runs-linux-with-no-mmu-and-yes-it-runs-doom/I recently installed openwrt in a banana pi, and it’s so cool to see this distro being mentioned around. It’s definitely a different linux experience, even after using linux for more than a decade.
Glad for you to enjoy it) i’m too planning to buy and solder 32MB rom chip on all my old routers and build openwrt for them to revive them and i already bought 64MB ram chips that laying around waiting for their time, it would be cool to build mesh network between all my family, also connect all of routers to vps with vpn and pihole installed
That’s really interesting. Are those routers already supported by the project, or are you going to port yourself? Maybe you could document the process and post it somewhere, ifyouh have the time ;)
Yes, I’m planning to port) though i didn’t ported openwrt before, i have confidence that i will do this with usual “fuck around and find out” (push through with relative documentation and trial and error), after all this is how newbies learn how to use open source projects, back in the day, 8 years ago, i started using linux that way, where to post it documentation though? When i do it I’m going to post it
The best place would be the wiki (https://openwrt.org/wiki/wikirules), but even a blog post somewhere would be helpful.
And remember to post about it on lemmy, because I think a lot of people (like me>.<) would love such a guide.
Yeah, never had a problem with incompatible hardware on Linux.
No siree, not a once!
Such an up and down though. I have an ancient epson scanner that cannot be used on modern windows, but I just installed the driver on linux and everything has been amazing.
Like pre-usb ancient or what?
Not quite that old, it is connectet via USB-B. Windows drivers only exist for 32 Bit systems, on linux the drrivers come in a deb package that works on modern installations.

The internet is srs bzns.
