Yep. I just bought the latest AMD hotness in laptop form. After giving the abomination known as Windows 11 a spin for a few days since it's installed by default, for the first time ever I'm running Linux as my daily driver and I couldn't be happier.
For me it just there to make sure my PC boots - get's regular patches for security issues and not corrupt my file storage and play sound/videos.
The bulk of time is spent inside a JetBrains IDE/Visual Studio Code/Chrome - my interaction with the OS is just launching programs and hitting the shutdown button and Windows 11 is just great at that.
I think it matters. W11 OOTB is a horrible ad and telemetry ridden mess. You have to spend ages ripping out/disabling that rubbish, and it can suddenly turn back on after an update.
For a work OS, I want sane OOTB defaults, or a "disable all of this" option in the initial setup. These settings should be respected and not overridden in an update.
Obviously I think it does. Operating systems and the windowing environment should help you be efficient and get the maximum use out of your machine. Windows no longer does this; it has now primarily become a vehicle to resell Microsoft services and nag you ad nauseam. Even ChromeOS has less ads nowadays.
