    They gatekeep windows 11 from older devices, what did they think would happen? I tried Linux on my thinkpad yoga, and the drivers are so shit i had to switch back to windows on it, and no, I’m not throwing away a perfectly good laptop!

      Out of curiosity, what Linux did you try on it? Relatively new and you tried Mint maybe?

        I ran mint on an hm110 with an old as balls nvidia and the only bug i had was tracking down the 330 drivers so i could shut the godddamn fan up. (And then had to compile a Kodi build from source yay thanks muppets)

        Linux isn’t as transparent as windows when it comes to legacy drivers, it’s always been an issue

          Not to sell your experience short, that sucks, but that’s on Nvidia for being the worst company in the world for driver support.
