Man, those processors aren’t even that old. The i7-10875H came out in mid 2020 for example. That is a perfectly capable processor that can run most tasks without a sweat.
I’m so damn happy I got out of that ecosystem this year.
My laptop has the slightly refreshed 10870H. I got it in early '21. A 4 year old laptop isn’t new enough for Windows 11.
It is…if you strip all the resource hogging ai bullshit from their crappy os…
WTF Microsoft? I really hope this is a mistake. This is a no go for enterprise environments. You say 8th and 9th gen are supported and now you are pulling away that support. It takes large organizations time to plan and the Windows 11 roll outs are very likely approaching completion.
I’ve heard from a penguin that there’s a solution to this… 🐧
I said I wouldn’t do it. I installed Windows 11 yesterday, but went back to Windows 10 today. Windows 11 is going to be like Windows Vista or Windows 8 for me. I’m just going to take my chances and skip it. I would love to go to Mint, but Linux doesn’t support the only game I play, Black Ops 6.
Yep, it’s a lousy OS, and MS just keeps digging in and making it worse. Why?
Damn shame. I’m sure it will run eventually
Given Activision’s track record, I wouldn’t count on it unless valve strongly intervene. Contemporaries like EA have even backtracked on Linux compat for anticheat.
Yep, the game runs fine on Linux. The developer, however, is intentionally breaking the game if you run Linux. Just Activision doing shitty things, as Activision does.
Edit: I feel it is important to point out Activision is literally owned by Microsoft…
As crazy as that is, playing devil’s advocate, Comet Lake is basically the aging Skylake architecture.
Ice Lake though? WTF. That’s a new architecture with proper AVX512.
The bigger issue is that it was at one point supported. What does that mean for 8th and 9th gen hardware running Windows 11?
