   For that program the assumption it will be people with Windows 10   
   computers that can't go to Win11. Initially it was the Makerspace   
   volunteer reaching out for people with Linux experience since the laptops   
   in the Makerspace couldn't go to 11.   
      
   If that pattern holds the machines probably will not be state of the art.   
   The laptop I put Mint on is an Acer netbook from 2011 and it has 6.14.   
      
   The Fedora and Arch boxes have 6.18.7 with 6.18.8 being released today.   
   The Fedora is an old Dell with a 4th gen Intel, and the Arch is a Lenovo   
   T480 from 2018 with an 8th gen Intel. The Ubuntu box is 6.17.0 with a   
   Ryzen 7 from 2020.   
      
   I don't have anything Nvidia and all the kernels work. For that matter the   
   Arch rolling release and the Fedora semi-rolling get a lot of updates and   
   the best thing I can say is nothing breaks.
