I like how they end support for OS without providing an upgrade for a lot of people. Might as well put a Linux ad in their "Your PC is not supported" bullshit.

They even have a guide on how to install Linux: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linux/install

"Bare Metal Linux". I like it!

My laptop which is still perfectly usable doesn't have support for 11. Im probably gonna switch to mint or popos but I know lots of ppl that dont have new laptops and they just fucked? And there are tons of end users that just have no desire to learn some of the intricacies of linux even if it is something mostly simple like mint. They're gonna have to support security updates when they see the adoption numbers. Just like they had to do with 7 till they basically got to 10.

Now now, let's keep honest here. They did provide option to install Win 11 on unsupported hardware. It's just slightly hidden, prolly to avoid people bricking their pc's an blaming MS. And also it won't update.
