Only reason my new rig has windows is for some specific peripherals that just dont seem to have good solutions for linux (logitech g600 MMO mouse, and an NZXT kraken cpu cooler display). The mouse gets completely jacked up and has all the side buttons rebound to numpad by just using it in my experience. Had to reload the mouse firmware on windows to restore basic functionality.

The user experience was honestly vastly superior on Fedora KDE, and my next GPU will be AMD so i can give it another shot on linux

Is this in anyway meaningful? Like will their computers stop working or will it force an update when they are least suspecting?
Just curious and am hoping to grab popcorn in the meantime

11's been fine for me. I know this is a hot take around here but if any readers are dreading it because of things you've read, just try it out.
