It’s basically identical to Windows 10. Which will be out of support in less than 2 years. So I’d install it if I had a new PC that’s supported and Linux wasn’t an option for what I need to run.
But there’s also not a good reason to upgrade from 10 right now.

It is not “basically identical”

I couldn’t find my windows 10 installer USB so I gave 11 a spin. I’ve been on it for like 8 months and the past few weeks I’ve been thinking about going back to 10.

Taskbar sucks now. Gotta install third party software to make it not look like a mac. ExplorerPatcher stopped working for me so I downloaded ViveTool to enable the “feature” of showing labels. But what I can’t change is the width…so Steam is a tiny icon and Firefox with an open tab is full length. Also having issues buttons overlapping each other

I use a USB audio interface. Without the software installed I get sound in most programs but no ASIO. With it installed I get ASIO but no sound in media players

Ads. I’m sorry but I don’t recall downloading TikTok on my desktop PC, why is it in my star menu?

This is the first year I’m actively considering Linux but there’s just way too much software I’m not willing to take a performance hit on (AutoCAD and Ableton as examples)

  You can left-align the taskbar and make it black in Windows settings. Those other issues you have might be caused by the third party tools you installed, I never had them. And Windows 10 also came with unwanted apps in the start menu, you probably removed them and are now comparing fresh Windows 11 with customized Windows 10.
  Explorer comes with tabs now, that alone was a reason for me to switch.
  
  But yeah, if you have driver issues, go back to Windows 10 until the manufacturer of your audio interface has fixed them.
  
  (I’m not a Microsoft fanboy, only run it for work. Privately, I use Arch, by the way.)

    Left aligning is only part of it - I want uncombined labels. An update broke ExplorerPatcher so I use ViveTool to enable the “official” option in Windows ahead of release. I also want the labels to remain a fixed width like it used to which there is no option for. The issue here is 100% with Windows 11’s new taskbar
    
    Drivers: it’s definitely on the manufacturer but it’s still an OS difference. It’s the first time since Windows…vista? I’ve had a driver issue after upgrading so it’s worth noting imo
