I've been running 11 since the first leak and haven't looked back. I actually really dislike using 10 in comparison.

Not really, unless you're a fan of the UI/UX changes.
Every Windows iteration has been worse than the last with the possible exceptions of 7 & 10, but that's only because Vista & 8 epically bad.
I switched to Linux back when Vista came out. Haven't looked back since. For gaming, things are very different these days. As others have said, Linux is now excellent for gaming, partly thanks to efforts by Valve.
The every other Windows version is bad goes back to at least Windows Me. Microsoft tries implementing a lot of UI and other changes badly, then rolls back some of the changes and fixes the rest in the "good" version.
No. It's strictly worse than Windows 10.
I run Linux too and know that both 10 and 11 run the same couple games exactly as well, but Windows 11 won’t install unless you have a TPM module set up properly on your motherboard. Just because of that I use 10 because of less hassle.
Windows 10 feels like a better Operating System, with Win11 being a beta program for features.

imo if you have a compatible machine (& prefer the taskbar at the bottom of the screen), then yes. it's essentially just 10 with some kernel/core updates & a new ui that's much better.

This is 90% of the reason i haven't upgraded to 11 yet. I want my taskbar vertically on the left damnit!

My work laptop doesn't support Windows 11 so I'll keep using 10 until the support runs out or the laptop gets replaced.
Not worth it. For everyday use you won't see a difference. For some games, and if you happen to run Unreal Engine or some software that needs DirectX - you may find compatibility and stability issues.
I hate the new start bar, and that you no longer can group icons. I've installed startisback to get the win 10 bar.
