I have to use windows at work and... Yeah, 11 is such trash.

If using Windows, ltsc is the only version to use. Stripped of lot of the bullshit by default, no Microsoft store, no onedrive, copilot, etc. Not sure if it is a ltsc feature, but can also uninstall edge.
Whether on 10 or 11, ltsc is the most Windows 7 like experience before Microsoft started pushing Windows Store, preloading programs, and pushing account sign in.

This is the curse of being on the feature release of Windows compared to maintenance mode. Windows 10 also had awful bugs when it was the main squeeze. Remember One Drive causing file loss?
Don't want to be surprised by bugs? Swap to Debian Stable or something.

The only place I have Windows these days is at work and I fuckin hate it. I have at LEAST one update a week which takes forever, they still haven’t fixed “update and shut down”, and teams/outlook only seem to get shittier and shittier. No I don’t want to use your fucking slop-pilot for my email and messaging it’s such a simple part of my job.

Linux has been fine for me for a couple years. Fuck Microsoft.

I boot two machines with the same peripheral setup on a switch, one W10 and one W11. All drivers are up to date on both, the W11 machine makes the monitors constantly flicker on and off and is essentially unusable during anything that uses a few % points of CPU. MISERABLE.

I never had a single issue with Windows 11, it ran as smoothly as Windows 10 and even 7(interesting anecdote, the only 2 BSOD I got were on W7).
That being said... I've been using Fedora KDE exclusively for almost a year now, it is pretty good, so I've probably missed all the recent issues.
No shit. It irks me to no end they 'updated' the installers of pre win 11 versions of their software to force an upgrade to 11 before they will even install. Visual studio can suck my balls.
I switched my gaming system from Windows 7 to 10 (Edu) when Steam stopped supporting 7 and 10 stopped getting feature updates. Has been pretty stable and annoyance-free since then. If I ever need 11 I hope it'll be after that stops getting feature updates too, but Linux is the more likely future.

Sorry Microsoft, Window is ..., well, I don't know. I haven't used any in over a year. I never will again.
Windows 10 is now in that sweet spot where it's no longer getting borked by updates, but is still widely supported by most Windows software. Windows 7 was like that from 2020 until around late 2023. Windows 10 probably has got about 2, maybe 3 years left and then you'll start seeing support for Windows 10 getting dropped.
I had zero problems with Win 11. But to be fair I went into group policies to turn off stuff.
Someone at Microsoft right now: I bet it would be easier to break 10 than fix 11....
Personal opinion, win 11 is great. Have not had a single issue for 5 years. Much more resistant to malware effecting the bootloader, etc. No issue with games though to be fair I doubled my RAM to 32gb before the apocalypse lol
