I'm actually impressed with windows 11. I've been using win since 3.11.
95, 98, 98se, 2000, XP (the dream), 7, and 10.
And finally after a lifetime of windows, 11 finally got me to switch my desktop OS to Ubuntu!
So 11 achieved something for me that no other Win release could: get me to abandon Microsoft OSs. Though, I admit to having a W10 VM instance with GPU passthrough.
I went through a 10 year Linux phase. Built a new PC about 5 years ago and decided I should get Windows 10 Pro, and use it for work and gaming. When EOL hit, Minecraft wouldn't update, so I switched to 11. The game installs just fine, but will not run unless you log into the Microsoft Store. Since I just wiped my drive any way, figured I'd just do it one more time with Arch instead. OK, maybe it took 3 more wipes to get it right, but it was well worth it. MC runs perfectly, and so do all the games I care about in Steam.
