Is Windows 11 worth installing over 10?

OP, thanks for being the sacrificial lamb here. Now I know never to ask a question about Windows if I don’t want to hear irrelevant opinions from Linux snobs. Sorry you didn’t get a lot of real answers.

No, install linux

I upgraded 10 to 11 and really liked it. Problem with linux is all the commandline if you want to do advanced stuff.

Then i got a gpt-4 subscription and installed arch linux with hyperland. I aint looking back, everytime i use a windows system now it feels slow and prehistoric… sometimes though you get some weird problem you just don’t wanna deal with at the time and then its briefly booting into windows again.

For the problem thing, I use timeshift.

Hit a snag? Boot into a system state from a few weeks back and deal with it later.

The problem was the specialized software from samsung to sideload jellyfin on my tv not working properly but i second that timeshift is not a luxery on these kind of systems. If i only need windows now and then for sm specialized then thats ok, hope to move windows into just a vm soon.

I have to admit, I still have a windows partition, but I honestly haven’t booted into it for a full year now. The only thing I can think of needing it for, is firmware updates to my logitech peripherals, but that’s something I can live without.

There will always be something that will only work on windows, but that list is getting short enough now that the number of people it’s a problem for has begun to shrink, too.
