I dunno..  I upgraded to Windows 11 and haven't had much of a problem with it. I think the only thing is that there's an older app I still use that seems to cause problems with alt-tab app switching when it's running and also somehow causes Windows Explorer to freeze up..  At least, it seems to be that particular app anyway.

I'm the same way..  I enjoy PC games, and I think that's the main reason I still run Windows as my main OS.  There are actually a couple of non-game programs I use that don't have a Linux version (namely, a couple of Topaz Labs photo and video editing tools).  I have Linux on my second PC.  And I've set up my main PC to dual-boot Windows 11 and Linux Mint - I just tend to stay in Windows most of the time.
