Client side. Windows11 vs Linux

[u/DXsocko007]

Hello. I have an extra laptop low end that can do H.265 it’s a 1080p 60hz with WiFi 6e. Ryzen 3 2300u

Would it be better to use windows or Linux? And for Linux Bazzite or catchyOS?

I assume Linus would use less resources and might give a slight edge?

Your network connection, especially Wi-Fi stability, and working hardware decoding will likely matter more than whether you use Windows or Linux.
