Seriously, though, there may well be ways around this without switching your OS. If it’s browser-based, the first thing I’d try is a user-agent switcher.
Though, actually, does that “remind me later” option work? It does look kindof grayed out, but it couldn’t hurt to try a click.
Yeah, and browsers are running the same engines across platforms, so there are very few differences between using Firefox on Linux and using Firefox on Windows. My best guess is what @[email protected] said, that it’s just allowlisting new Windows user agents and was intended to target people running ancient versions of Windows.
I’d assume it is not supported as in if you ask them for tech support and they realize you’re not running Windows they’ll happily tell you to pound sand.
“Upgrade?” “UPGRADE?!” Oh no they didn’t.

They probably check to make sure you’re running a current version of Windows. The code assumes if you’re not on Windows 11, then you need to upgrade.
Yeah they’re not blocking access or anything, I was just infuriated by the message
I’m guessing it’s the default message for any non-whitelisted os and it was written assuming you’ll be on an old version of windows and not linux
Wait what? Then wtf is the point of that message? “Your operating system is not supported”, except that it totally fucking is.
