Especially not for such enragingly artificial hardware requirements. Any computer able to run 64-Bit Win XP would probably run Windows 11 just fine if Microsoft hadn’t decided to build instructions that only work on recent CPUs into the kernel specifically to make it not run on older hardware.
DNA matching is the only forensic science that’s worth a damn, and only if it’s done correctly.
And even that one is useless in case of identical twins.
Linux compatibility is highest
The L14 Gen1 I have must be an exception then. The fingerprint reader isn’t compatible at all (I feel kinda taken for a ride there since it’s seemingly the only Synaptics reader without Linux compatibility) and both Bluetooth and USB are very buggy. I haven’t used it with Windows, so the latter two may also be down to crappy firmware. Either way I’m rather disappointed for the price tag and probably not buying Lenovo again any time soon.
Serious question: Why do you use Chrome, a browser made by the world’s largest advertising and spying company, when you give the slightest f* about privacy?
At least use Ungoogled Chromium if you’re not gonna switch to something actually privacy-focused. Basically the same functionality, but without Google’s spyware.
So, if I type a “Y” in Comic Sans and use it as a logo, I will have a billion dollar company?
I’m basically a “native” Linux user. When my parents finally decided to get a computer in 2008 or so (I was in elementary school back then), it got Ubuntu installed on it, so my first contact points with modern technology were 100% on Linux as anything invented after the 1950s wasn’t used at all in elementary back then.
When I got my first own computer a few years later, the guy who guided my dad and me through building it suggested installing both Linux Mint and Windows on it. The Linux installation died on me after a few months for unknown reasons, I had no idea how to fix it and our helper disappeared into severe personal problems, so I used Windows only for quite a while until I finally started to really get into Linux inside VMs and was finally able to reinstall it on the bare metal.
As I had always prefered Linux, it quickly became my daily driver again.
Fast forward to today, Linux is the only OS on my laptop and the main OS of my gaming PC. I use Manjaro KDE on both.
The only reason I still have Windows are a few games that don’t work properly on Linux (via Steam Proton) yet.
I will keep Windows 10 until Steam no longer supports it or all my games run well on Linux (I check for that occasionally). IDGAF about no longer getting security updates as I have moved everything except for those few games to Linux years ago.
