generally would have agreed with you but since i got a new Monitor i have had nothing but Problems.

Granted i don't make it Easy for Linux by having 3 monitors at 4K:60Hz 1440p:144Hz 1080p:60Hz but still

all my Browsers always crash. I assume it has to do with Scaling since they like to especially crash when i move them between monitors. Then Gnome randomly crashes. It's a nightmare.

was forced to come back to Windows 11 because of all that Bullshit. I guess the upside is much better Security on Windows, but still. Although that added Security is pretty useless since every fucking Program needs administrator rights for some inconceivable reason.

I don't use Gnome, as I had other issues with it. I solely use KDE with Wayland on endeavourOS (so Arch). I have multi monitor issues on W10 at work and I'm waiting to upgrade to W11. I'd request Linux, but due to the project I cannot. I've heard plenty of bad stuff about Gnome crashing for people and had it crash for me as well. I'd recommend giving KDE a try if you aren't too tired of trying, but I respect your choice of W11. Most people don't have multiple screens though. I don't recommend Linux to niche users, since they may have niche needs.

I've never had a virus on Linux. How is Windows more secure?

Also, I have the same type of setup, make sure you have the right display driver installed for your graphics card.
