Linux may be on to something

I'm still getting a legacy PC for win 7, but I think Linux can run on any modern PC. I think Linux also is way more versatile than it was in the beginning. I've used windows all my life and fear the change, but Microsoft has forced me into this with their forced crap like tpm snapshots, one drive, copilot etc. It feels like a federal wiretap. Linux is free too and with a couple of add ons ons I think native software can launch similar to windows. **** Windows 11, the ad obsessed most invasive crap is ever to exist.

linux can run on older or most newer hardware (sometimes it takes a while to get drivers for the news of the new). windows won't run on anything that doesn't have the TCM hardware ... I think that's the acronymn. trusted compute module. anyway, it's more secure, more versatile (always has been; you just got locked in by available software). native windows binaries from windows to linux can be tricky. not impossible, but I'd say it's not for the weak willed.
