I Replaced My Linux System With This $200 Windows Mini PC - Here's The Verdict After A Week

Long-time Linux enthusiast Jack Wallen gives Windows a try, for a
change

    First off, the Neo Z97 shipped with Windows 11, and I decided
    against installing Linux over it. Since Windows 11 is a resource
    hog, I thought it would be best to see how well the hardware
    handled the OS first. Sure, I could install a Linux distribution
    on the PC, knowing it would vastly outperform Windows, but this
    time around I wanted to experience the default.

    As is with Windows 11, the initial setup was time consuming and,
    inferior to any Linux distribution I've ever used. But this isn't
    a debate about Linux vs. Windows (because you know where I stand
    on that); this is all about the PC itself.

In other words, if Windows performs well on a given piece of hardware,
it’s a given that Linux will be better. This has been verified so many
times that it should come as no surprise. This is a hardware review,
not a software review.
