Not really. Improvements like what?

I have a brand-new work laptop which absolutely crawls compared to my nearly-15-year-old Thinkpad T430. Is this slowness the Windows 11 advantage? My personal laptop runs plain ordinary Ubuntu 24.04 perfectly, and everything works.

In my experience, i don't consider work laptops as worth anything performance wise since they're loaded up with antivirus, scanning and compulsory work sync software accessing the network for every mouse click that means it crawls and has half second latency for anything.
