Purchase Windows 10 with support for less than 2 years of support, or just buy brand new hardware for your entire business so you meet Windows 11 requirements. I know there are hacks to run Windows 11 on non-Windows 11 compatible systems, but Microsoft needs to rethink their strategy if they want to maintain market share (personally, I would love if some form of Linux were able to pull ahead in the desktop OS market, but we've been through this before)

Seems like every year more and more LOB apps are replaced by browser versions (often SaaS offerings). I wouldn’t be surprised if the OS desktop becomes irrelevant for a large number of businesses with 10 years or so.

So the only way Linux can become relevant is by becoming a dumb terminal for a web browser?
