If they can’t I’d either recommend to use Linux or buy a new computer. I wouldn’t want to support “unsupported” installation of Windows 11 on “older” hardware, even if it worked perfectly fine as of now, since that would be asking for problems later.
I plan on offering Linux as well but I’m thinking of older people who I simply want to make sure have a computer that continues to get updates. While I personally run everything in my personal life FOSS I can recognize that’s not necessarily the right move to switch up someone’s entire computer and then peace out. I think of it as harm reduction, in the same way I volunteer for needle exchanges. I offer information and support to get off heroin but for those who aren’t ready I offer clean needles. Sorry I know this was a long ass reply and your question was probably rhetorical, but that’s why

Some people just like having a UI built out of javascript and the contents of their entire computer sent to a Microsoft datacenter.
You’re thinking of GNOME Shell.

I mean sudo I couldn’t tell you, I’m a terminal dweller.
It’s better for them to upgrade to windows 11 than stay on unsecure OS.
And of they can’t due to the TPM requirement?
