Microsoft allows Windows 11 to be installed on older, unsupported hardware but specifically nixes official support — minimum requirements for full compatibility remain unchanged (www.tomshardware.com)

Hey, you're all up to date! Your computer is missing items that are really important! Like Linux for example.

Updates on Linux are painless, I install them and keep working, and even when it's done, I save and reboot, then back to work. I can even check what services were impacted and restart those instead of rebooting.

I don't underhand why Windows and macOS overcomplicate things. I run a rolling release distribution (Tumbleweed) and things have been smooth for years. But even release based distributions are way simpler to upgrade than either Windows or macOS.
