Gnome is better in my experience
Windows 11 may be the first major version of Windows that I never use on my own personal rig. I’ve used 98, XP, 7, 8/8.1, and 10 throughout my life. But I’ve got no reason to touch 11 when Arch (or fill in with your distro of choice) with KDE exists. It’s just a much better experience.
Shoot, even my daughters share a computer with endeavorOS+KDE installed and they have no problems using it. Windows 11 would refuse to even install on that same machine.
Ugh, my field (tech) means i have to have more than a passing familiarity with it

My experience with Win10 for what I use my computer for has been far less janky than any Linux distro I've tried, and I'm past the stage of my life where I could spend hours and hours troubleshooting and enjoying it.
As for Win11... I may very well made the dreaded switch to Linux when Win10 officially loses updates. I just wish Linux had viable alternatives to a lot of Windows software that wouldn't result in my workflow being significantly altered in a way that will require watching countless god awful tutorial videos and going through forum nonsense.
Like for sure Windows has its problems but we shouldn't pretend Linux and the community don't do a lot of things that massively turn off new users.
Want regular ass people to switch from Windows to something new? Check out how/why Mac OS is so popular among those who've switched from Windows, and perhaps there's some things of value there that the Linux community can learn from.
The Linux community is packed with toxicity and a stubborn insistence that it's nothing but helpful and if a user has a problem, it's always their fault and never the distro's fault.
Laptop shows your unlocked screen briefly when you open it before unlocking? Never had that issue with Windows, Macs, but on Linux this happens with Ubuntu when installed on several Thinkpad models.
And nearly every response to this problem on Linux forums is "you must be doing something wrong" or casually telling a new user 'just switch to DingOS 3.14 bro, it's what I use and I've never had an issue" like that's NOT a major pain in the ass for the average user.
I'm not.
Dual boot but only if you have spare disk for Windows, or alternatively run it in virtual machine.
I have a < 100€ think centre for ps & 3dsmax, my main PC is on Linux.
It feels soo good.
