The problem is that transitioning to Dimdows 11, for those who haven’t
already done it, will mean junking their existing hardware and buying new
machines. Linux offers the option to keep their existing hardware working,
often even better than before.

There are tons of ways around having to junk your
old, functional computer to run W11.  Rufus comes
to mind.

 
Most of the methods I have seen involve a fresh install of W11 instead of an upgrade of W10→11
 

You can plug in the Rufus stick, run setup.exe off it,
and partake of the bypasses it provides. That means,
not only can you boot the Rufus stick and do a Clean Install,
you can also use it as a container for an Upgrade Install.
