Question about Linux app

[Mr_H_Poirot]

Absolutely BetterRed. For such people, Windows is a better bet

Linux is not for everyone. Indeed, I also want a windows machine in my house as my main pc

But for those who simply surf and do basic office stuff, it's a viable alternative

But the point being made more generally is that Linux is increasingly a viable alternative; certainly to repurpose a 2nd laptop that can no longer run windows 11

There is no laptop that used to be able to run Windows 11. If it can run Windows 11, it can still run Windows 11.

It was on Windows 8, or possibly 10 (I forget), but couldn't upgrade to 11. My language was incorrect

Quite a few older laptops that were updated from Windows 10 to Windows 11 are stuck at 23H2 or other version due to updated requirements. One corporation one acquaintance of mine works for had to replace ~60 Lenovo laptops when their main custom corporate software was updated and now requires Windows 11 24H2. Could the update not have required 24H2? Very likely but I'm not the dev and there may have been other reasons for requiring the update.
