Can't say Win 11 is really that bad.

Contrast that to the Linux desktop which "just doesn't work" and my M4 Mac Mini that amazed me with how fast it was when I bought it and a year later it is beachball... beachball... beachball... reboot. beachball... beachball... beachball... Doesn't help that they vandalized the UI by adding meaningless transparency effects which don't actually look cool but rather look like they added anti-antialiasing to the edges of everything for now reason.

  > which "just doesn't work"
Some are more tech savy than others here, but I guess almost anyone can do the following trick successfully:

  step 1. visit https://endeavouros.com/
  step 2. download iso
  step 3. flash iso on medium
  step 4. boot medium, installation window shows
  step 5. you choose KDE, yes: KDE. Do more mouse clicks.
  step 6. system tells you it's done, and offers you to reboot.
Done.
