Man of Honour
I suppsoe that's the whole point of insider builds, if you opt in then you accept that stability or performance won't be optimum. This should not even be news really as it sets an incorrect perception.
Windows 11 is garbage

Yeah, it's a bit silly going public about issues you have with what's essentially a 'beta' build....lol
Win11 (alpha) is rock solid in my experience...my only bug bears (excuse the pun) are the UI changes that sometimes don't make sense (to me) and result in far more clicks to do what I used to be able to do blindfolded in win10.

Same, the OS works fine, but for productivity it is more awkward to use for no good reason.
It's not even just TPM...my 2ndary PC is an i5 6600k and can quite easily run win11, and the mobo has the correct version of TPM..but no... only 8th gen intel or later is supported.
When support for win10 stops i'll have to make a choice for that machine.. I'll have to run it sandboxed/offline if i want to play games in windows, or I'll be forced to put linux mint on it or something. It has an AMD graphics card, which I hear is better than Invidia for gaming in linux environments..so I'll see what's what win10 stops getting security updates I guess.
If you have secure boot and TPM enabled then it should install and activate fine on a 6th gen PC. I did it recently and all that happened was a popup asked me to confirm that I'm running a CPU that is not supported. When I tried it without secure boot, the installer wouldn't start.

It sure does lol
Something I hate with Windows 11 is the repeated aborted attempts at transparent blurred window backgrounds and quickly obsoleting old methods, breaking the original DWM method and a absolutely awful implementation using Mica material: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/desktop/modernize/apply-mica-win32 which is a cluster **** of different approaches rather than just fix and/or background override it via the original DWM approach.
The changes really are terrible and they seem to be doubling down on stupid
How they've not gone back and prioritised ripping out that worst possible take on an Android/Apple launcher for a Start Menu and done better I don't know.
Certainly seems that way! The new Windows Me perhaps?
Windows 10 EOL support should be interesting, as there's going to be a larger percentage of 10 users than 11 users who might not have up-to-date systems - unless you're willing to cough up some money, that is.

Feels like this is the perfect time for this to finally be year of Linux on the desktop, but rather than making everything nice and user friendly and standardising on a couple guis, the community is more involved in arguing over stuff like systemd.
It will just end up sticking around and being unofficially supported, especially in the gaming community. Which is what happened with windows 7.
Also, pay for window lol? Who does that.

As has always happened, many will simply stop updating it.
Yeah, and then further down the line have to pay an eye watering amount of money for a specialist to come in and migrate it when it breaks..
This is the way.
Win11 is great apart from the UI. Microsoft could just do someting really easy like a legacy skin or theme, so you could choose win10 skin, or Xp skin etc.
Why would it break. As long as it's isolated from outside threats it's fine.
I'm thinking from more of a commercial point of view, when you have dependencies on other apps and functionality that requires internet connections.
