    I didn’t say all applications work. I said use better ones.

    As for hardware, less computers support win11 than Linux. You can run Linux on 40 year old computers, and on brand new computers.

    Ans this article is literally about bypassing the restrictions that were put in place to protect users with CPUs that have the specte and meltdown vulnerabilities. You’re safer on win10 even after they stop supporting it than win11.

        If you’d rather risk becoming a botnet node than to even consider using alternative software then you are absolutely using it wrong.

        If your computer doesn’t support win11, then switching to Linux before win10 ends is the only right choice. The other less right choices are:

        Stay on win10, Upgrade to win11 and disconnect it from the network and the internet permanently.

        The worst choice is do what OP did.
