No, you don’t need anything else. Activation works the same if you log into your ms account or you can simply use https://massgrave.dev/ . I’m pretty sure there’s a way to get your key and enter it manually but I haven’t tried that yet.

Or simply use an easy workaround to disable the tpm check and set up an offline account. I literally have win11 running on an old T460.

Good luck. I change the keycaps and switches on my board pretty much every week.

I always liked tinkering with shit. Modding gameboys, custom fw on my phones and psp… It was the next logical step.

Ah, the Quake 4 stroggofication scene. A classic.

Gnome, sometimes XFCE on older hardware.

I had the same issue. What I found is that when I run gnome or KDE, I don’t get any dropped frames. XFCE, Openbox setups, Cinnamon & Mate on the other hand all had the frame drop issue. I managed to fix it in XFCE through playing around with the compositor settings, no luck in any of the other DEs tho.
