If this doesn't make you move to, or SERIOUSLY consider Linux, I don't know what else will
OpenSUSE Tumbleweed is pretty solid if anyone is looking to try something.
What makes you think they can't do this with linux as well? All they need is for their program to read your serial numbers which Paypal does every time you log in.
A. You have the option of using a non-TPM system. Linux doesn't demand it. WIndows 11 does.
B. From a software level, while there might be exploits that can come to light, Linux itself does not actively code backdoors into itself the way Windows does in the name of "security". I'd take my chances with a Linux 0 day exploit that would be patched quickly over Microsoft NSA bullshit hard coded into the very kernel layer of the OS
so if you log into a website like Paypal (that collects all of your computers data) with a Linux distro, Paypal can't read your data?
Systemd
They also have the option to require a TPM on Linux. Riot I mean. You can run Linux, but they don't have to let you play
The guy who writes the fucking kernel is a member of the world economic forum. So ya.
