Another way to say this is the master race are about to upgrade their hardware
Curious what you’re using. Ms office kinda sucked but LibreOffice works incredibly well, and Adobe products last I tried (years ago) sucked. But gimp and DaVinci resolve work great. Most of my games run absolutely fine. For everything else you just need a web browser and those have worked great always.
Wine or emulation? When I had to use Windows for work I used WSL to run my tooling and didn’t notice any performance degradation. Does it apply too vice versa?
Although I’m with you on the hardware side. Because I have an Nvidia card my Linux install has been relegated for personal projects only. I already have a workstation supplied by my employer for work.
Or simply use an easy workaround to disable the tpm check and set up an offline account. I literally have win11 running on an old T460.
Anything you need to do beyond Rufus or the like for installation? How did activation, auto updates, etc work?
No, you don’t need anything else. Activation works the same if you log into your ms account or you can simply use https://massgrave.dev/ . I’m pretty sure there’s a way to get your key and enter it manually but I haven’t tried that yet.
