Windows 11 vs Linux supported HW
(lemmy.ml)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I just put Arch Linux on a tiny laptop that was struggling to run Windows 11 after an upgrade, and it runs smooth like butter now. Feels good.
What DE?
Asking the real questions here.
SwayWM.
The DE used has little to do with it, Windows file system performance is simply terrible.
You installed from scratch or used a distro like Manjaro?
From scratch. It's my second time installing so it was a breeze and I was able to copy all my configs over after.
