I’m not exactly rejecting it, but I can’t afford to build a new computer that can run it till the AI bubble bursts.
Try to get a simple Linux distribution instead (Mint or Ubuntu). Depending on what you are using your computer for it might be just as good, even faster, than windows.
It’s not a popular answer but you can get by with an older PC running Linux KVM. Windows 11 is fine as a guest OS, unless you need kernel level DRM from some applications.

Just to be a bit heretical: Its absolutely possible to install Windows 11 on unsupported hardware, look up Rufus, download the ISO from Microsoft and on you go.

I have managed to get it running on a NUC with a two core and 2 GB RA.
