Installing a mainstream distro on modern hardware (AMD graphics at least; I haven't tested Intel, Nvidia) is way easier and more relaxed than doing the same for Windows 11.

Then installing apps, even with WingetUI it's far easier on Linux than trying to find and install apps on Windows... God help me, I hope Microsoft have learnt how to actually do window management this time to make all their crap worthwhile.

I just installed Ubuntu on my self built computer with Nvidia GPU. It's working really well!

Their crap is no longer worthwhile. Each move they make is extractive, not additive.

Unfortunately most users will never install their own OS. Until Linux breaks into consumer OEM Microsoft has nothing to worry about.
