Lol why exactly we all hate one drive? I forgor, never used it actually.
In my case my partner has a Windows 10 surface laptop. It's perfectly functional and does what she needs it to do, but Windows 10 is dying next year, so I need to find some solution that is user friendly (meaning GUI-based in this case) to maintain her access to her OneDrive, or we throw away a perfectly good laptop to buy a slightly newer one. Besides the e-waste it's just a waste of money. It makes some business sense, why make it easy to move away from windows? Except it also sucks on anything that isn't a windows desktop, so they just expect people to put up with a subpar service essentially because their business users don't have much choice. Dropbox was better 10 years ago than OneDrive is now, in terms of platform availability and usability.
Note: I'm aware we can access OneDrive and office via a browser, however it's not the same as native and feels clunky. Throwing Linux on it and using a browser is probably going to be our solution if I can't get rclone to work in a way she'll be happy with.
I read an article that MS has backed off almost entirely on Win 11's requirements. Now it's a checkbox, "Your hardware isn't supported so you accept responsibility if you have problems."
As long as it's newer than Pentium 4, you are probably fine.
Win 11 now only needs popcnt (a newer instruction added 15 years ago) and sse4.2.
When did this happen?
It was in my news feed 2 days ago and as is the nature of the modern Internet, today I cannot find the article using Google.
Is this it?

Yes!
