Krebs is giving a shoutout to a linux alternative..

"If the experience with Windows XP is any indicator, many of
these older computers will wind up in landfills or else will be
left running in an unpatched state. But if your Windows 10 PC
doesn't have the hardware chops to run Windows 11 and you'd
still like to get some use out of it safely, consider
installing a newbie-friendly version of Linux, like Linux Mint.

Like most modern Linux versions, Mint will run on anything with
a 64-bit CPU that has at least 2GB of memory, although 4GB is
recommended. In other words, it will run on almost any computer
produced in the last decade."
