I own Windows 11 and my computer and preferred OS (Fedora) support TPM and Secure boot. Is it worth the time to configure that stuff to run W11, or should I just continue to run W10 since I don’t do anything but run a couple games?

I have a robust backup, so even a system wide Nuke is a day’s worth of re-installing, worst case.

Honestly, since I boot W10 so rarely, it’ll kinda be nice not to have to update it every time.

    It may be hard to find drivers for them, but if you’re using X-Plane, you may be able to get everything working in Linux, well-enough.

    X-Plane.org ( the social-site, not the sw-company ) has randomly-distributed discussions about drivers, & some of those have good links.

    I’ve learned that I have to add my gaming-user-account to the INPUT group, to get the flight-sim stuff to work, as some of the stuff ( rudder-pedals, quadrant ) don’t appear, otherwise…

    but running un-updated MS-Windows is … security-suicide, in my eyes.

    Too many ransomware attacks, & some of those bork ALL partitions on one’s system, not just the within-Windows stuff, as 1 single security-risk…

    Please scroll through a few pages of those headlines, before deciding to remain in your relationship with MS…
