Look. I just need to get far enough to install Balena Etcher or whatever.

@randomgeek I installed 11 on a VM somewhat recently and oof.

No way it could be a daily driver for me.

@mcgrew yeah I thought I could wait until tomorrow morning, but I'm already sufficiently irritated that I'm grabbing an EndeavourOS image. Hope one of my USB keys still works.
