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.

    If it doesn’t connect to the internet, it should be able to just keep doing what it’s doing indefinitely. You will eventually get a significant amount of clock drift if it can’t update the time from the network but you can manually set the time once in a while to fix that.

      That’s surprising about the time thing. Why is that? My cheap battery powered watch doesn’t significantly drift from the actual time. Why would a PC be any different? Just curious.

        Any clocks that aren’t synchronized periodically will diverge… but I honestly have no idea why the clocks in computers drift as quickly as they do.
