I don't really like Windows but it's for my gaming PC. My laptop does run linux. I don't know much of anything about 11 and whether it's better or not.

Every Windows iteration has been worse than the last with the possible exceptions of 7 & 10, but that's only because Vista & 8 epically bad.

I switched to Linux back when Vista came out. Haven't looked back since. For gaming, things are very different these days. As others have said, Linux is now excellent for gaming, partly thanks to efforts by Valve.

The every other Windows version is bad goes back to at least Windows Me. Microsoft tries implementing a lot of UI and other changes badly, then rolls back some of the changes and fixes the rest in the "good" version.
