Quick glance on my installed programs, and I count 7 apps I heavily use in windows 11 with no linux version, nor a clear equivalent that could replace them without extensive hacks that may or may not work and be a total waste of my time.

if you tell us the names, maybe someone can help

Also a funny thing: I installed Debian with KDE and then GNOME last year on another PC, and guess what? KDE & GNOME came bloated with a bunch of apps, games, office suite, code editor and other shit.

that's the decision of the distribution, not KDE/Gnome. often it is configurable in the installer, even in debian to some level.

The same cleanup & customization did for windows 11 I had to do to Debian KDE and then GNOME.

to be fair if uninstalling unneeded programs is the only thing you do on 11, you're leaving in lots of things.

Let people use what they want.

I agree that insufferable jerks are insufferable jerks, but I don't think most people want to use windows 11, but that's what they can use, for one reason or another, some of which have a solution, some of which not yet. if anything, I would bet money most would rather just stay on 10.
