I'm switching to Linux before I ever touch win11

Just got a W11 laptop new from work, (replacing a dead W10 machine). It is such a mess. It is trying hard to be a modern desktop like KDE Plasma or GNOME, but without a cohesive setup. And bluescreened twice already, had a WebApp failure error, and locked up completely another time at login. This is brand-new Out of the Box.

That sounds like a faulty install or machine. Win11 has issues but that's not a regular experience that you're describing

I would have thought so too but a few colleagues had a few bluescreens, and the machines are not all the same make or model.

Happened a lot for my win11 laptop my company refreshed for me. 16GB dell laptop and WSL running plus zoom, firefox and obsidian and it kept getting blue screens for running out of memory.
