We all have reasons to switch to Linux. When you're window shopping as
most of us are when it comes to the operating system, it's hard to find
the motivation to stick to it when we encounter the first few bugs. In
your case, it was how slow 11 was making your new hardware feel; for me,
it was the knowledge that the corporations involved had no interest in
fixing a three-year-old bug that made using the operating system
intolerable.

 
Win11 23H2 was overweight, on a machine that was ideal to upgrade to
Win11 21H2.  That is just ridiculous.  Two years.  Is that an
eternity, or something?  I like Microsoft in the abstract, I think
they're innovators, I think they do some useful things.  But that is
irrelevant to my enjoyment of my machine.  Win11 outgrew it in *no
time*.

In exchange for manufacturers bundling Windows with every one of their
machines, Microsoft agrees to bloat the operating system artificially to
encourage users to upgrade more frequently.
