My PC is only like, 5 years old and Windows 11 doesn't support it. Windows 10 ran smoothly, it does RTX, modern games run fine on it, the most graphically intensive AAA games run a little poorly but still run nonetheless, and I can always lower the graphics settings to get better performance. It's certainly more powerful and higher spec than a lot of the office PCs that do run Windows 11. Buuuut the motherboard doesn't have a TPM 2.0 chip so it's archaic e-waste as far as Microsoft is concerned. It's been running Linux just fine for the last year and a half or so, and not once have I ever felt that my PC is too old and needs to be upgraded or replaced.
