FWIW, you can install Win11 on unsupported hardware with a pretty easy registry edit to bypass the TPM check. I did it for my mom’s PC that lives 600 miles away from me, thus far with no issues.

If it has to be Linux, I’d recommend something that’s immutable and atomic on a platform you’re familiar with so as to prevent careless mistakes by technophobes.

Ubuntu Core, Fedora Silverblue, MicroOS from openSUSE are all pretty stable and have rollback if something gets borked. Unfortunately, nothing is guaranteed to ‘just work’. Good luck!

The scarousal is powerful with this one.

It says Continue without disabling on the bottom of that banner, which if you do, it gives you access to the whole site without hassling you again. At least it does on my end with Firefox.

Obviously it’s bullshit to constantly badger you, but it doesn’t currently restrict access to anything.
