Windows 11 may be the first major version of Windows that I never use on my own personal rig. Iβve used 98, XP, 7, 8/8.1, and 10 throughout my life. But Iβve got no reason to touch 11 when Arch (or fill in with your distro of choice) with KDE exists. Itβs just a much better experience.
Shoot, even my daughters share a computer with endeavorOS+KDE installed and they have no problems using it. Windows 11 would refuse to even install on that same machine.
Ugh, my field (tech) means i have to have more than a passing familiarity with it
It's definitely different if you're getting paid for it. I plan to get into I.T. within the next year or two if I can, so I'm sure I'll have to get familiar with Windows 11.
I mean, technically I do use Windows 11 daily at work. Gotta be able to order stuff, send emails, and manage my time card. All that is done on a Windows 11 PC. But nobody is paying me to put it on my home PC, so I'm not going to.
Been on Mac for years now. I love hot corners.
Gnome is better in my experience
My experience with Win10 for what I use my computer for has been far less janky than any Linux distro I've tried, and I'm past the stage of my life where I could spend hours and hours troubleshooting and enjoying it.
As for Win11... I may very well made the dreaded switch to Linux when Win10 officially loses updates. I just wish Linux had viable alternatives to a lot of Windows software that wouldn't result in my workflow being significantly altered in a way that will require watching countless god awful tutorial videos and going through forum nonsense.
Like for sure Windows has its problems but we shouldn't pretend Linux and the community don't do a lot of things that massively turn off new users.
Want regular ass people to switch from Windows to something new? Check out how/why Mac OS is so popular among those who've switched from Windows, and perhaps there's some things of value there that the Linux community can learn from.
The Linux community is packed with toxicity and a stubborn insistence that it's nothing but helpful and if a user has a problem, it's always their fault and never the distro's fault.
Laptop shows your unlocked screen briefly when you open it before unlocking? Never had that issue with Windows, Macs, but on Linux this happens with Ubuntu when installed on several Thinkpad models.
And nearly every response to this problem on Linux forums is "you must be doing something wrong" or casually telling a new user 'just switch to DingOS 3.14 bro, it's what I use and I've never had an issue" like that's NOT a major pain in the ass for the average user.
I've just spent the last 6 hours troubleshooting steam input on 3rd party flatpaks, also alacarte has a bug that doesn't let you save property changes, also I can't use vim as root anymore for some reason I don't care to look into, also symlinking some of my media was a pain. Band-aid solutions have been found for the first 3 and the last was me being an idiot and not having a GUI solution to symlinks because Nautilus is arse compared to ms file explorer.
I fucking hate pop-os and flatpaks, cosmic launcher is a pile of junk, and my 4k monitor has created an infinite amount of scaling issues to work through.
Windows was a slow burn of minor inconvenience, Linux is a series of kicks in the nuts.
I suppose you could just use arch Linux to get away from pop-os and flatpaks.

I play BO3 Zombies on Linux, and I do not pay money for that divinium.
Dual boot but only if you have spare disk for Windows, or alternatively run it in virtual machine.
I mean playing games on manjaro is ok, the problem is modding fallout 3/nv
I'm not.
