Or you add the chip and it still doesn't want to upgrade because you don't have secure boot enabled.

Ah, blessed be the almighty Foon. Nameless Mod was a absolute ride, I should replay it.
There are 4 or 5 different Americas, maybe more.
Didn't know about Bottles, Cool find, may have to test it out.
Given their rivalry with Valve (I'm sure Riot see it as a rivalry at least, Valve probably don't) I wouldn't put it past Riot to want to avoid SteamOS and Linux by extension until significant market share is available.
To be 100% honest, probably not, and you may need to confirm with someone who knows Valorant. The big issue is anti-cheat, the detectors in use for major multiplayer games tend to lose their minds when they see Linux as they're typically only built for Windows. Other than anti-cheat, it wouldn't surprise me if it played better on Linux. Some of the low level magic has improved a lot in recent years, but official support is mandatory for multiplayer.
One of the requirements is full secureboot and recovery arrangements that didn't exist when I installed back in the 8 days. Now I can reinstall over the old drive and that will do all the plumbing that enables 11. So the hardware is 11 compatible, but the existing software install isn't.
*Edit to answer the question, no, it's not too late. Most compatible CPUs have a lesser firmware TPM, but most mobos have a slot for a vendor specific hardware TPM. Which is what I got.
