It has been almost 1 year since I upgraded to windows 11, and despite what hundreds of "news" sites and the terminally online say over and over, it's been almost the same experience as windows 10... and better even in some ways.
So I'm starting to think all these articles are exaggerated bait for clicks that completely ignore essential details in order to sell an outrage story . Each time a new article pops out I get less interested. I suspect this will just be the norm, even when nothing these articles say will ever materialize.
If you use linux that's very good, I use it on my home server... but I use Win11 on my main PC, and it has been really solid.
You're being down voted because Lemmy is a Linux fan echo chamber, but my experience with Windows 11 is similar to yours.
I resisted the upgrade for a long time after reading about all the issues it apparently had. My work laptop updated first which made me realise it's not that bad, a few annoying things but nothing system breaking. I've had windows 11 on my personal pc for about 2-3 months and it's been the same, absolutely fine with a few minor things here and there.
For the average user Windows is absolutely fine. I'd say that anyone using Linux or thinking of switching to Linux isn't an average user. And that's fine. Everyone can use whatever OS they want. I'm choosing to stick with Windows.
My understanding is that it's very dependent on hardware. If you have a beefy setup, then that might be why it's running well.
However, for most of us who are being forced to use it on work laptops that are already several years old, not so much.
