I own Windows 11 and my computer and preferred OS (Fedora) support TPM and Secure boot. Is it worth the time to configure that stuff to run W11, or should I just continue to run W10 since I don’t do anything but run a couple games?

I have a robust backup, so even a system wide Nuke is a day’s worth of re-installing, worst case.

Honestly, since I boot W10 so rarely, it’ll kinda be nice not to have to update it every time.

    I really have no clue where these people in this thread are getting this from. You’re not going to just suddenly get hacked or viruses if you go online with an unsupported OS. If you disable your firewall then yeah but disabling your firewall is stupid.

    You’ll be more vulnerable because discovered exploits won’t be patched so be careful, but just don’t be stupid.

      If I could upvote this more, I would. How unsanitary are their computing habits that this is a real concern?
