Yeah, the main thing I hate the most is that they took the words away from the right click menu. So if you want to rename something, you have to click an icon and half the time I am wondering if I am about to delete it or rename it.

I've been running 11 since the first leak and haven't looked back. I actually really dislike using 10 in comparison.
imo if you have a compatible machine (& prefer the taskbar at the bottom of the screen), then yes. it's essentially just 10 with some kernel/core updates & a new ui that's much better.

This is 90% of the reason i haven't upgraded to 11 yet. I want my taskbar vertically on the left damnit!

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.

No. It's strictly worse than Windows 10.
W11 has more efficient power usage and task management. Outside of that, there's rounded UI and... uh... yea just rounded UI. If this is a new PC install or just like a fresh install, just upgrade to Windows 11. W10 is eventually going to be discontinued sooner and the changes aren't that drastic to warrant staying downgraded. I also recommend something like Open Shell to fix a lot of the gripes power users have with the UI, like the limited right-click context menus. Personally, I use StartAllBack. WinAeroTweaker is a great software to disable some telemetry, add important options to context menus, etc.
At the moment no, is trash, the taskbar is broken and unusable.
In September looks like they're adding back basic functionality to the taskbar so it can be considered an upgrade
I don't know how it took so much time to fix that taskbar... Incompetence? Everyone with more than 1 year of experience left the team?

Not really, unless you're a fan of the UI/UX changes.
It has a newer kernel and more bells and whistles. Performance-wise I dun think it is that different from 10, except for newer hardware. If it is for gaming, I dun think it matters much. The recent versions are stable enough and Microsoft has ironed out enough kinks already.
I hate the new start bar, and that you no longer can group icons. I've installed startisback to get the win 10 bar.
I run Linux too and know that both 10 and 11 run the same couple games exactly as well, but Windows 11 won’t install unless you have a TPM module set up properly on your motherboard. Just because of that I use 10 because of less hassle.
My work laptop doesn't support Windows 11 so I'll keep using 10 until the support runs out or the laptop gets replaced.
