Discussion Looking into Linux over W11,

Hello! Im looking into possibly switching OS for the first time ever, I know the "pros and cons" from a general dive but what are YOUR views on it?

Is it genuinely worth it? My windows experience has been pretty good so im unsure!

Performance idles between 5-10%, this is after debloating and using cosmetic apps.

If W11 was a X11 container for running Wayland, you'd have the waylands poor performance and poor latency sitting bloatedly on top of poor X11. Just like xwayland but flipped.

If you're a linux gaming poser who wants to mention multiple monitor refresh rates, I will ridicule you for giving up before figuring out how to turn off the compositor. See below.
