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.

Now I'm interested in seeing that Win11 $upported CPU list. Anyone got the full link?
Most of the unsupported CPUs are based on their TPM support. Windows can boot on much older CPUs if you bypass TPM.
That being said, Windows already chugs on current gen hardware depending on your usecase so I'm not gonna recommend you try it lmao.
Yea I have a 2011v3 haswell e proc that isnt supported but the mobo has a tpm slot so I got a 7 dollar tpm2.0 module on ebay and was able to install win11 last year. Its fine for basic gaming.
