 ris_ | fixes for 6.0 branch and 6.5 branch | 18:18:51 |
| ris_ | we have 6.0 branch, 6.2 and 6.3 branches | 18:19:04 |
| ris_ | slightly encouraging is how similar the patches are for 6.0 and 6.5 | 18:19:41 |
| ris_ | so patches for 6.2 and 6.3 should be some interpolation of the two | 18:20:28 |
 Sandro | If we don't have the 6.5 branch the maintainer is really active | 18:48:23 |

Given Windows 11 has it as a requirement, any operating system which doesn't support it at all can't boot. Not without reconfiguring your BIOS at every reboot, at any rate, which I don't think many people are going to do. Personally I've been running an indev version of 11, and...
anyone have sources to back this up? sounds like unsubstantiated FUD to me

| hexa | so in win10 it was a feature-specific requirement, in win11 it looks to be a requirement | 19:52:51 |
| @grahamc:nixos.org | So, just needs to be capable. Fud then | 20:44:39 |

I'm not sure where the misinformation comes from. If Windows 11 mandates a TPM 2.0 that has no impact on anyone. It doesn't mean that Secure Boot cannot be disabled anymore | 12:37:34 |

I'm not sure where the misinformation comes from. If Windows 11 mandates a TPM 2.0 that has no impact on anyone. It doesn't mean that Secure Boot cannot be disabled anymore There has been fud about this for every windows release since at least windows 7, I wouldn't worry about it for now. There is also antitrust regulations in place for things like this. | 12:43:55 |

 toonn | Requiring certain hardware for your OS doesn't sound at all like antitrust to me? | 19:34:34 |
| toonn | It's like not supporting your OS on ARM. | 19:34:54 |
 Roos | I'd argue things change when you're OS is very much used and you artificially limit compatibility. | 19:35:45 |
| toonn | I mean, Apple's clear prior art. | 19:37:16 |
| Roos | An argument could be made about compelling people to replace perfectly working hardware with new one. | 19:37:18 |
| toonn | Some motherboards do allow adding a TPM. | 19:37:43 |
| toonn | I think it only becomes antitrust if they were in cahoots with hardware companies. | 19:38:05 |
| toonn | Removing headphone jacks from phones is slightly similar. | 19:44:08 |
