I have a 2022 mid-range laptop which does work with Windows 11, but sounds like a jet engine when I try to run it.
I also have Arch installed, which runs silently 80% of the time, with moderate fan usage the other 20%.
As you may expect from this, 11 is typically sluggish, especially under load; whereas Arch is typically quick and responsive, with moments of lag noticeable but infrequent.
Under the circumstances, using 11 would be a terrible choice. There’s just no reason to subject my device to it.
It’s also part of why humans and dogs get along so well. Grey wolves (and, to some extent, many other canids) are also among the best animals at persistence hunting.
