Windows 11: The Requirements Apocalypse

Microsoft wants your firstborn, your kidney, and a TPM 2.0 chip just to run their spyware.
There's a better way.

TPM 2.0 Required!
8GB RAM Minimum!
UEFI Secure Boot!
64GB Storage!

Windows 11: The Gatekeeping Champion

Microsoft has graciously decided which computers are "worthy" of their operating system. Here's their completely reasonable list of demands:

🔒

TPM 2.0 Chip

Because your cat photos need military-grade encryption

60% of PCs rejected
🧠

8GB RAM Minimum

To run the same notepad you had 20 years ago

4GB was fine yesterday

UEFI Secure Boot

Securing you from using any other OS

100% vendor lock-in
💾

64GB Storage

Half of which will be used by the OS

32GB for your files

MacBook Pro 16": $2,499+ for decent specs
Framework Laptop: $1,400 for comparable performance + you actually own it
🔧
Apple: "Your laptop broke? Buy a new one for $2,000"
System76 + Framework: "Here's a $50 part and a screwdriver"
🎯
macOS: Beautiful prison with excellent battery optimization
Linux: Ugly freedom that you can make beautiful (and efficient)
