The i7-7700K meet the minimun requierments to run Win11. But its not suported, Why?

You're kidding, right? Most applications will only run on Windows. You're on a MICROSOFT WINDOWS 11 forum. This is definitely not the right place to try and push your favorite flavor of *nix.
And before you bring up Windows emulation on Linux, just think about that for a second. You can't break the dependency of needing Windows, yet it's made to say you don't need Windows...

SugarD-xNo, not kidding. I think you misunderstood my purpose and the thread's. This thread is about NO Windows 11 for i7-7700K which is why I wrote my piece. I certainly do not want to upset the Windows 11 conversation but... the i7-7700k was upset by Windows 11. And so was I, hence my participation. 280+ comments on this thread are precisely about anger, anxiety and frustration at this situation, but if you have a Microsoft supported solution for *our* situation I am all ears!
And relax - I was done with virtualising or emulating Windows about 4 years ago (not withstanding the use of Proton in Steam!) In my defence, I got given HL: Alyx as a birthday present, with a loaner HP VR headset, so my Windows needs will end there, but since I had to repartition and dual-boot/install Windows 10 (see... couldn't do 11, right?) I thought I would take a look at Windows 11, and couldn't, so I found this thread to meet with kindred souls.Luckily, Windows 10 works a charm.

ozchamo, that is not what the topic is about. The title is pretty clear. It's about a specific CPU not being approved to meet the minimum requirements of Windows 11, (which has unusually strict ones). Making alternative suggestions to send people to other OS'es is not a solution. It is fanboy advertising and topic derailing.

I find it hard to believe that your vr headset does not work with fedora. https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Half-Life-Alyx-Now-Linux-Vulkan
Not sure what headset you had but the real problem with fedora and the reason people don’t like it is that they are not involved in the science of data collection, tracking and helping to direct the lives of its users as Microsoft windows is. Linux does not attend the World Economic Forum nor do they focus themselves on adhering to their goals. When you install Fedora you don’t get a lovely reminder to get vaccinated, or do black friday shopping, or have Tik Tok preinstalled ready to go and for most people this is the main thing. There is no better feeling then this and plus if you do something a little bit different you could run into issues like not having the same microsoft teams account as everyone else. If you want to go with the flock you need windows and it’s really about losing social status if you don’t.
Whether it’s microsoft checking the validity of your microsoft status before letting you access your documents on your or putting them on their cloud to make sure it adheres to Davos’s principles, Microsoft has you covered.

Microsoft Is committed to protecting their users from the next pandemic , Fedora is not.https://youtu.be/cNo-wJbDV1U And you are right that microsoft is into the meta verse as you can see they are pioneer in applying new technologies for the public good and they are Shwaaabs favorite…
