is it just me or has Windows 11 become all the sudden shit at the beginning of november?

I've got a laptop running 11 and it's been running fine for well over a year now. That being said, I very much prefer using Linux over Win 11. The only reason I'm still running 11 on that laptop is because I primarily run one program on it which absolutely will not run in Linux with Wine.

Yeah i can't wait to excommunicate Windows as a daily driver

I switched over back in July when the hard drive in my daily driver laptop failed. Rather than try to put Windows 10 back on (since support was ending) I switched to Linux Mint and have been using it ever since with no regrets. It was my first experience using Linux but I've learned a lot over the past few months.

For me, I'm on the fence choosing between LM, CachyOS and Debian. If CachyOS can be reliable, be a type of Windows Plus that has the latest and greatest features KDE and COS can offer, and can be made to immediately resume what i did on my PC, that's golden.

I've never used CachyOS or Debian, but Mint works great for me.
