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.

Gentle reminder to everyone that support for #windows10 ends in about 90 weeks. Many computers can't upgrade to Win 11 so here are your options:

Continue on Win 10 but with higher security risks.
Buy new and expensive hardware that supports Win11.
Try a beginner friendly #Linux distro like #linuxmint. It only takes about two months to acclimate.

That is so misleading, when you can just disable the TPM 2.0 requirements with a single click in Rufus

That's a great tip.

Last I checked windows 11 can be installed without TPM support. I think rufus even has a simple checkbox for it and Chris Titus's winutil can modify an ISO to do the sams

Given the break-neck pace of development, I am sure the ReactOS folks will be ready.
