We have a Thinkpad running W11. It's my son's and I didn't really think much about the OS until he started having issues (with things like the Windows Hello security system that automatically logs you in through webcam face recognition...supposedly).
It used to be that Windows had it's own quirks, but the UI and functional interfaces were generally roughly equatable with what you'd get on a popular Linux distro, or OSX. Now, though, while you can still get under the hood easily, Microsoft has messed with the UI/UX so much that it feels more like trying to use an XBOX for productivity than a desktop computer OS.
If it wasn't for the fact that you can generally assume reverse compatibility and drivers for literally everything from MSFT, I think they'd have lost huge marketshare with this release. It's a Vista for a new generation.
