I'd be curious to know what win11 expiring also means. It's on the computer and unless you're procuring from sources that fly the Jolly Roger, there isn't an excuse for legit copies to get disabled. Unless it's one of these things where it has to phone home every month or whatever.

At least they failed to lock the conputer up with secure whatever chip... For a while I was sure that they would eradicate linux that way.

Been spending some free time putting Windows 11 on my 12 year old desktop (I know). It's amazing how much Microsoft is trying to kill off old hardware for no reason. Had to use Rufus to bypass the hardware check. I got a new SSD, and 8 gig ram on a fresh install and it runs just fine for my needs. Forced obsolescence. reinstalling apps and WSL has actually been enjoyable if I'm being honest.
