Sure there is. Windows 11 requires TPM 2.0. Regardless of whether they called it Windows 11 or Windows 7e, it would still be incompatible with your hardware and require an upgrade to get the new security features.
That’s actually an unusual exception to the general rule, which is that newer Windows versions (in general) simply require faster processors and more and more memory in order to deliver different UIs and often no genuinely useful new functionality, and sometimes degraded functionality. The requirement for TPM (which can be bypassed anyway) is an anomaly in the general trend.

Debian unstable was my setup for years (with KDE Plasma instead of Xfce). I just needed to be certain to read the change logs, as I once removed my entire desktop environment due to carelessness.
