My Win7 desktop died a couple of months ago, so I replaced it with a Win10 — which apparently doesn’t support the Win11 requirements.
I also have been using Linux Mint 20.2 some.
During the transition, I ran across LinuxFX which basically has Win10 appearance and WindowsFX which basically has Win11 appearance. They use the .wine emulation for Windows programs, so they are not fully Windows capable. However, for home users and novices, they narrow the gap between the Linux environment and the Windows environment.
Windows11 seems to have significantly more cosmetic utilities. One can even get back actual buttons, etc., by doing a lot of tweaking.
But it seems they are just offering functionality that you can get with any Linux distro out there. At work, I run over 1000 Linux servers in an Active Directory environment. Doesn't cost us anything to do so. Also, wine is available across the board.
