My partner runs Windows, I run two separate distros not by choice but by driver support. I was messing around on her computer the other day, had to pull something up. I was startled by just how sluggish the entire experience was. Mind you, one of the distros I run is a destroyer of ram. I couldn't believe it. I felt like I was hanging out on a computer with fifty viruses and the pop-ups were coming for me.
I run Windows 10 on my own laptop and Windows 11 on my work laptop. Sluggish is the right word for W11: every action seems to take more clicks, more time and more effort. I suspect it's partly because the animations are slower because it needs to load more bullshit.
Parts of the 11 start menu are actually a react native app.
