Apparently my computer isn't good enough for Windows 11.

They "helpfully" let me know this with a large banner thing in the middle of the screen when I ran normal Windows Update just now. Apparently, the CPU isn't good enough or some shit.

*shrug*

That's fine. I wasn't planning to update to Windows 11 at any point in the near to distant future anyway. I only just updated to Windows 10 back in January (EDIT Jan of 2020, that is, of course; has it really already been almost two years? /EDIT) or whenever, and even that was only because they completely stopped supported Windows 7 at that point.

If your computer doesn't meet the requirements for Win11 I'm fairly certain my bucket of bolts won't either. Granted I'm overdue for getting a real computer anyhow.

This time around, unless this computer bites the dust before I'm ready, I might see about ordering a comp from one of them online places like newegg or whatever. Actually get something that can Do Things.

Then again I'm still open to getting one of them Steam Decks if/when they go on sale for general purchase instead of just via the preorder placements. If most of my gaming can be done on that thing (Especially since it can be docked to a TV like the switch it's trying to copy) it'll probably encourage me to go linux full time.
