You can argue all you want about TPM and its 'security'. I ALWAYS thought that forcing users to use TPM 2+ hardware is planned obsolescence and nothing/no one will convince me otherwise.

The only thing affected users can and should do is to leave that PoS of an 'operating system'.

It's not PoS. At its core Windows NT is very cool, and the Windows subsystem for it is not terrible.

What's PoS is that the only way you get it is with such a heap of garbage, that you can't see the good parts behind it.

And even its developers seem to have forgotten those good parts, I wonder if they ever change anything there other than "closing" vulnerabilities with yet another condition in some long-long switch ... case ... statements.
