Will Microsoft drop the TPM requirement for Win 11 once Win 12 rolls around? (lemmy.world)

Or maybe they will launch Win 12 with optional TPM support.

Imho making the OS(es) TPM only cannot be good for their business, many people are still on Win 10 with no intention to switch, since their motheboard does not support TPM and do not want to upgrade PC / waste PCI-E slot on TPM extension.

Gaming on Windows just works, gaming on Linux can work but might be problematic with some hardware (as is the case with OP based on another comment they made), let's not pretend it's as easy.

I probably wouldn't call it cancer, seems quite loaded, but gaming on Linux still has its snags even if performance on it its better. Like you and OP said, hardware is a big issue, but also some gaming-oriented creature comforts like a proper platform for recording/screenshotting. Steam has screenshotting but not recording AFAIK, Yes, OBS exists, but let's be real - it's clunky to set up because it's not meant to be a game recorder, it's meant to be broadcasting software. On Windows, it will detect a running game automatically and let you record. Someone did send me another piece of software that's simpler, but it doesn't support Wayland. The transition from X11 to Wayland is affecting a lot of software like this, and Windows just doesn't have this issue.

I still don't really understand the reason for switching to Wayland, especially since it sounds like it's still rather half baked even after all this time

It's kinda like IPv6.
