Windows 11 seems to be fine, despite everyone whining constantly.
The ads everyone cries about? Can be disabled with a single option.
Slowness? Haven't experienced it.
11 didn't introduce anything, for me, that I couldn't already do. Some of the desktop management features aren't that bad and the UI is fine I guess. If you don't like it, turns out it's pretty easy to replace with a different shell.
Privacy concerns are pretty legitimate, but with about as much effort as getting a Linux distro set up and working you can lock that stuff down.
As someone who recently switched it is incredibly easy to get Linux Mint set up and working, far easier than tracking down where to find all the annoying ad settings I want to disable in Windows.
No, tracking down the settings to disable isn't that difficult, but I shouldn't have to, and Linux is even easier.
