Bruv. You have a -16341 and decreasing total user score.
Clearly you're quite abrasive to have a score like that.
Not to mention that you have about 15.2333... comments per day on average which seems pretty damn obsessive to me.
ew, LTS user. lol.
Actually, 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver) doesn't go EOL until 2028 : ubuntu release cycle, and Ubuntu is very much targeted at enterprise users, it's what Canonical's entire profit model is focused around.
The thing is, one version of a distro going EOL doesn't turn a shitload of hardware into e-waste.
The drivers have to be dropped from the kernel to truly be EOL which doesn't happen until nearly everyone has already moved on which could be 20y possibly even more from when the hardware was first manufactured.
Meanwhile my 2018 & 2020 hp laptops are completely dropped in Windows 11.
15 comments a day (key word) on average.
He's had the account for 2 months and already has 915 comments.
I've had my account for 6 months, am active nearly every day and barely have half that.
He's turned this into his personal messenger and most of it is him spewing vomit in text form.
Doesn't work.
Just to be clear, it's not a TPM issue or anything like that. It's pure driver fuckery.
Which might be on HP or Microsoft, idk. But either way, Windows 11 will not work.
Windows 11 won't work on the 2018 laptop either, but that's a spec issue.
Wrong. Linux has supported TPM2.0 for ages before even Windows and every distro maintainer would gladly sign their shit. The problem is that a shitload of hardware only accepts Microsoft TPM keys by default which can't legally be used by Linux distributions, forcing the work onto the users. It's pure vendor lock-in.
Also, this is going to be a way less of an issue when UKI's become the standard.
The the default keys on the hardware, e.g. the keys hardcoded to the motherboard are 95+% of the time only the Microsoft Windows one's.
Even if the distro maintainers & developers had everything configured by default to be signed which is a pain in the ass without UKI's, it still requires the user to add new keys manually.
Rarely do you have hardware with a key for a Linux distribution, and even if you managed to get hardware that has them, the majority of the time it's only keys for stuff like RHEL, Ubuntu Enterprise Edition, etc.
So if they want to they can revoke those keys
That's generally not possible, but I imagine if the BIOS is Internet capable it could be.
and you could only install a Windows operating system.
Nope. TPM isn't required to be able to install the system, only to take advantage of secure boot and security features of the hardware.

I haven’t had any issues.
But it’s not uncommon to a problem somewhere in the Bluetooth stack. It’s important you report any bugs you come across to the respective projects, because of how diverse Bluetooth devices are it’s hard to get perfect support for everything.
Out of the box it can play audio in the background, and now that extensions are available you can block ads as well. You don’t really need constantly updating 3rd party clients or questionable firewalls anymore if you just want usable youtube on a phone.

They’re doing it on purpose.
Metal Outlaws video shows a bit of the code where it shows that it runs a 5s sleep function, and this function is only triggered if the browser has a Firefox user-agent.
This is the app called Franco Kernel Manager, one of the best kernel managers that are out there… Even when it was outdated (which I think that’s the cause it got booted from the PlayStore?)....
Luckypatchers.com is the real one.
Also you should avoid pureapk, it has malware.
I recommend sticking to apkmirror if the application is available there.
Lucky Patcher is Android only.
Also, you should really consider getting an adblocker because the entire web is covered with malvertisements.
Even YouTube has scam ads & malvertisements.
Is your Ublock Origins & lists updated fully and configured right? Because Ublock Origins is supposed to be blocking the malvertisements from being shown at all.
At least it does for me on Firefox-nightly & Mull.
