There is nothing about windows 11 that's better than on windows 10. Why would anyone switch voluntarily?

Windows 10 at least had better automatic driver installation, touchscreen and multi-monitor support compared to 7, but came with a shitload of ads built right into it. Windows 11 has even more ads, but what does it give you?

I think the VM support is better on Windows 11. I tested gaming on both 10 and 11 on my Linux install and 11 performed better. Otherwise, agreed 11 is a downgrade

I haven't tried VMs via hyper v but WSL and sandbox seems to work a bit better. I don't know if it's quantifiablely better but it feels like runs better.

Ah. Maybe that's the case. I meant I'm running Windows 11 on Linux using QEMU for gaming.
