That is so misleading, when you can just disable the TPM 2.0 requirements with a single click in Rufus

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

1 it is.
Last I checked windows 11 can be installed without TPM support. I think rufus even has a simple checkbox for it and Chris Titus's winutil can modify an ISO to do the sams

CLickbait bullshit and everyone that upvoted is responsible. This is stupid, you can do better.
Does the bypass not still work?
It does, you can manually install windows 11 even without the hardware "requirements"
Everyone is fear mongering over this. It's the same shit how windows 10 didn't officially support a bunch of systems but you could install it anyway.
Currently running a desktop on W11 on "unsupported hardware". Even managed to get it onto a 15 year old machine running a first gen i7 920 and not even a hint of a TPM module as an experiment and it worked perfectly fine.

I'll probably procrastinate finding a solution for so long that I'll end up running my Win10 installation airgapped on a separate PC made from ancient spare parts
- Backport fixes manually
- use rufus to bypass hardware requirements, enforced account and bitlocker
Us low spec gamers cannot afford losing at least 10 fps in some games, so it seems we're tied to win 10 for the time being.
There's still around two more years of support for Windows 10. By that time, it shouldn't be too expensive to upgrade some components to some second-hand ones that perform better than your current ones.

I’ve been wanting to ditch Windows for a while now. I’ve tried dual booting so that I only boot to Windows if I need to play some game that only works on it.
But usually the thing I do the most on my PC is: play videogames. And majority of the games I enjoy are using 3rd party anti-cheats such as EAC and so on. And to my understanding, there are no really a good ways to get those games work on linux at this moment.
Sure, if I played mostly Linux supported games or single player games (I guess big chunk of those work thanks to Steam and Proton) there would be no such a big issue but I am not willing to quit some of these games just so I can make the switch to Linux.
But what I have decided on is that W10 will be my last Windows on my home PC.
I am curious, if anyone has been in similar situation and have come up with a good solution? Maybe two PCs + KVM switch?
Surely if I search the internet I can find many solutions but I am interested to see what this community has to say about this.
I have used Linux as my main for 20 years, but I have a dedicated windows computer for games (hooked to my TV in the living room). A lot of my steam games work in Linux nowadays, but the windows computer just works without fuss. I use it ONLY for games and turn it off when I'm not playing anything.
Ironically some older games (older win95/98/XP era games) work better in Linux under wine or emulation...
I have also used a windows vm with gpu pass-through to play games on my Linux machine, though I'm sure a lot of your anti cheat would probably not allow that. I don't bother with that anymore since so many games work in Linux with proton.
For non-gaming use I feel that 99% of dual boot scenarios should probably just be virtual machines instead. I have a windows VM I fire up for proprietary software or work related stuff when necessary.

I'm thinking of trying a dual-boot in the future. Does Linux play nice with Window's filesystems or does it still require its own partition?
It requires it's own partition to not have issues. It can see into your windows partition however, if required.
The moment steam ends support for win10, is the moment I fully switch to Linux.
Why wait? Carpe Linux.
Given the break-neck pace of development, I am sure the ReactOS folks will be ready.
