I don't really like Windows but it's for my gaming PC. My laptop does run linux. I don't know much of anything about 11 and whether it's better or not.

It's honestly just ten but better. Easier on your system, less superfluous animations, and it's organized a bit better. Most windows 10 apps are compatible out of the box as well.

W11 has more efficient power usage and task management. Outside of that, there's rounded UI and... uh... yea just rounded UI. If this is a new PC install or just like a fresh install, just upgrade to Windows 11. W10 is eventually going to be discontinued sooner and the changes aren't that drastic to warrant staying downgraded. I also recommend something like Open Shell to fix a lot of the gripes power users have with the UI, like the limited right-click context menus. Personally, I use StartAllBack. WinAeroTweaker is a great software to disable some telemetry, add important options to context menus, etc.

You can still game on Linux now with Proton.

I've been running 11 since the first leak and haven't looked back. I actually really dislike using 10 in comparison.

No. It's strictly worse than Windows 10.

Personally it was not. I did not like the UI changes in explorer and nor did i see any performance jumps. Hence, i rolled back to the w10

Perhaps you can take a call on if you want the new UI (i personally like the older one a lot more as I'm used to it), and can switch based on that

imo if you have a compatible machine (& prefer the taskbar at the bottom of the screen), then yes. it's essentially just 10 with some kernel/core updates & a new ui that's much better.

prefer the taskbar at the bottom of the screen

This is 90% of the reason i haven't upgraded to 11 yet. I want my taskbar vertically on the left damnit!

I hate the new start bar, and that you no longer can group icons. I've installed startisback to get the win 10 bar.
