Windows 11 is just Windows 10 with rounded corners, shittier menus, and even more spyware.

and this is why linux is gaining so much market share in the desktop space so quickly.

Is it? I still have yet to try a distro that works properly with multiple monitors and supports all the software I have.

When was the last time you tried? And Wine and other similar programs have come a long way. Especially what steamdeck/proton has done for gaming is insane.

I usually try Ubuntu Mate because I figure it's the most "normie" distro and should have good general hardware compatibility. I last tried it probably a year or two ago. It's been many years since I used Wine, but my lasting memory of it is that it's super clunky and buggy.
