I have a Linux Mint running on a intel atom CPU with 256mb ram and no graphics card and it kinda works.

The actual system requirement is a TPM 2 chip for encryption (wich is bullshit and can be turned off with Rufus) for other system requirements it feels better optimized than win 10 but that might be a personal feeling.
It's more than just a TPM requirement. They have actual processor requirements cutting off all 7th gen and older Intel processors and all 2nd gen? Ryzen and older AMD processors so that they can modernize instruction sets. Many perfectly capable if a bit old machines that have years of life left in them that will be going to the recycler who will attempt to extract something of value from these machines.
I'm all for modernizing instruction sets and cutting off literal ewaste machines that nobody should still be using like the Core 2 Duo for example, but this is just going to produce mountains of ewaste, which is about the last thing we need with the looming climate apocalypse and dire need significantly reduce emissions rapidly
