Windows 11 just isn't enticing Windows 10 users to upgrade, and its market share is actually falling (www.pcgamer.com)

Have you ever tried any modern Linux desktop distribution?

Yeah, the last one I tried was Lubuntu Jammy Jellyfish a few months ago.

Pop was the one I tried first, but the ancient laptop I was using at the time couldn't hack it, so I went with the ultra light weight version of Ubuntu in stead.

Very little worked out of the box and almost everything took a lot more fiddling and searching and asking for advice to get to work. For example, I never did manage to make bottles work after over a week of trying on and off, doing exactly what the documentation and advice told me to.

I haven't gotten to the gaming part of my Tiny11 test, so if it fails that, I might give Pop another chance now that I have a much newer one, but Lubuntu is definitely not as hassle free as Linux enthusiasts keep promising that all their favorite distros are..

Oh man Lubuntu takes me back. I used it back when it still used LXDE, which was actually relevant back then.
