Exactly, I’m trying to work with my local library to host a free W11 upgrade workshop with volunteers and even they’re like “um does anyone care about this?”
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

Why would you want people you upgrade to 11?
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?

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.
