Yeah and? Debian is free, you can just upgrade to the newer version without paying a thing.
And upgrades tend to be pretty stable. You can still use whatever UX you were used to before, since packages tend to stick around quite a bit.
The issue with Win 11 is that it drastically changes hardware requirements and UX. That’s not an issue for Debian.
And because linux is 99% just the programs you install on it when you do upgrade to a new version you aren’t being forced into a new system. This is why distro wars are pointless.
You can also upgrade from Windows 10 to 11 for free.
would you like to explain to me how i install a tpm 2.0 module into my hardware for free exactly?

No, actually, extra ads begging me to subscribe to my own computer are a cost.
I cannot use my win11 laptop because they removed the language bar and switching keyboard layout is impossible. Unfortunately it’s something that I do on the regular since programming in my native layout is really difficult hunting down alt+some numbers for the {} and I need letters with accents like žšć when I write something
It seems worthwhile to set realistic expectations.
