I prefer to let people test for themselves and learn
from their mistakes, but if I must, if my hand is forced
by "advice" articles, I'll comment.

1) Linux Mint has one software offering with 5.15 kernel.
   This is most likely to run properly on ten year old PCs.
   If the Ex-Windows users are inconvenienced by their
   ten year old PC (too old for the WinOptions, fit for the garbage),
   then a ten year old compatible solution should be quoted.
   Jesse Smith tested with *way too modern* hardware
   for this test. That is a disservice to the readers.
   Jesse probably didn't even notice which 6.x kernel was running.
   Yes, 6.x runs fine... *on new hardware*.

2) Wayland runs at half the speed of X11. Does anyone care ?
   Not really. But I bet... someone with sad ass hardware cares.
   Nobody sporting a 14900K and an RXT5090 cares about this.

3) Absolutely nobody fucking well cares about low end or old
   hardware. The Puppy days are gone forever. That's why we pulled
   up the ramp on the old video cards and dissed them. This article
   is merely more of the same. Why not pick a decrepit piece
   of crap and do a more realistic test ? For example, my
   Optiplex 780 with E8400 dual core and HD6450 video card,
   now that's a typical mom'pop box bought on a budget, a
   refurb. A castoff. And because it does not have POPCNT,
   you cannot force W11 into it. Will a 6.x kernel and no video
   driver work for me, a mere mom'pop user ?

There should be two articles. The "nyah nyah, I have new hardware"
article, and the "boo hiss, I have old hardware and can't afford
new hardware". Microsoft proposes we all buy new hardware,
and I can't see us recommending we all buy Jesse's test machine.

The point is, the Linux ecosystem has now positioned itself,
so it works just excellently on new hardware... just like
Windows would. Hardly anyone can address the older equipment
crowd.

And that's the article I want someone knowledgeable to write.
We should be encouraging people, by showing them how equipment
real people own, would run with the materials in question.

Who the hell wants Wayland sucking the good out of my
HD6450 ? Will my weak processor make up the difference
by doing fallback rendering ?

I have *plenty* of experience with this, having run
Linux VMs in "Virtual PC for Windows", no drivers,
no acceleration, no mercy. (Virtual PC is virtualization
with only one CPU core, no video acceleration, fallback
rendering relying on a CPU core for its operation.)
I know what it's like to use shit that doesn't run well.
It's a disservice to have people erasing their C: drive
and stepping into this with actual *physical* installs
into an unknown environment. Who will help them when
they're squealing ???

I would not have minded this article, if the promoted OS offering
had 5.15 kernel, as fewer individuals would be inconvenienced
by what they don't know about the situation. If my hardware
was only three years old, yes, the new shiny would be fine.
Both situations should be addressed. There is actually a sharp
divide here, *new* hardware left-only, *old* hardware right-only.
