    🤷‍♂️ I bought my old PC in 2020, got Windows 10 for it. 11 was a free upgrade via Windows Update, so I just updated. I’m here wondering how old everyone’s PC is who are gamers. Bought a new PC this year, left my Windows M.2 stick in the old PC, did a new installation of Arch in the new PC, and left the old Arch install as a media server.

    Are people daily driving and gaming on like 10-year old systems? When did those TPM modules become common in CPUs?

      Yep. I only got some extra SSD, RAM, and upgraded my graphics card in the last 10 years. I can’t ― nor do I care to — play modern AAA so it’s been fine. Also, even if I were to just upgrade my whole system tomorrow, it wouldn’t be for using W11.

        Right, but if you did, you’d pick W11, I assume, if you’re a Windows user? No reason to choose an abandoned version.

          I suppose so, since I wouldn’t really have a choice.

          Thankfully, I’ve said good bye to Windows a few months back already.
