    I have this exact situation with my wife’s work laptop, which can’t upgrade to windows 11. The requirements are pretty simple, something that runs Chrome and Dropbox as well as Microsoft Office 2007.

    I’m going with Mint Cinnamon for her (I use arch & kde btw) - was pleasantly surprised to see Dropbox now has Linux support actually, haven’t looked at it for years!

    Almost everything she uses her computer for runs in Chrome.

        There is also LTSC, which is much lighter than regular Windows 11, and does not have the ridiculous requirements.
