Since nobody gave you an actual response yet, you can see Linux-compatible hardware here: https://linux-hardware.org/

Note: The list is much larger than Windows, for everything from CPUs to peripherals

Readable would be a start. I’m still not entirely sure what it is I’m being misinformed about.

You’ve moved the goalposts. CPU is one thing that is objectively wrong. My older gen i7 doesn’t work with Win11 and has no problem with all the distros I’ve thrown at it.

Nvidia GPU is totally different from CPU. I think most reasonable Linux folks will agree that Nvidia drivers can be problematic and that is a weak point.

Would you like some dressing with your word salad? Nothing you said actually makes sense or reflects reality.

Do you not understand the concept of negative numbers? That minus in front of the 6 means you’re getting the opposite of upvotes.

I’ve always been able to read that my kernel is included in an update.

Are you updating throught he command line or some visual front?

And 1200 packages? I run arch (btw) and only get ~250 a week.

Looking for a more stable distro could be a good idea. Some distros are pretty much only PoC, or too niche to have a good support, or the beta channel of another, better supported distro.

Besides, Windows can be very laggy even on supported hardware.

I’ve yet to run into a CPU that doesn’t work with 11
Every AMD processor from the Ryzen 1000-series and older. I’m not sure where the line is with Intel processors, but requiring TPM excludes a lot of otherwise useful hardware.

I’ve always found the Tpm complaints a little suspicious. The same people who go on and on about how much they worry about security and privacy and how MS doesn’t care, suddenly just don’t give a shit in these cases. I assume they mostly just want to shit on stuff.

It’s a good to push to make it standard and hardware manufacturers wont without a good old shove.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
