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.
