Better than ever in base usability as an operating system for the average person. And you can run wsl2 and have a full Linux environment too. It’s as close to a macOS user friendly experience as it has ever been without losing the windows identity.
Okay, I’ll give you wsl2, and the “average user experience” being better, but Windows is losing its identity with the IT and customization front. For both destroying the win32 control panel and locking down the shell so you can no longer customize it.
Somewhat ironically OSX recently added widgets to the desktop. Something Microsoft did years ago, removed it for no reason, and then added a flyout to tick almost the same check boxes.
As for me, the spike in resource usage and over saturation of “AI” was enough for me to decide to jump ship.
I’m currently attempting to daily drive Manjaro so maybe my opinion will change, but so far, it feels like home.
Oh yeah some of the bloat is terrible and I wish the ai stuff came off by default but a lot of the issues can be handled with Chris Titus script. But to me win 11 with some tweaks feels better than anything since xp and I know I have rose tinted glasses on xp.
