Windows 10 gang here. If I wait a few years I'm sure 11 will be usable by the time 10 support ends.
Same with buying pc games.
Win11 might get "usable" in the same sense that 8.1 was "usable" closer to the end. It was still a turd. I'm sticking with my Windows10 install as long as I can, and later switching the gaming PC to Linux if necessary. Maybe even keep a partition or drive with 10 as a "retrobox" for when it's end of life. It's mostly old games that don't run well on Linux, anything more modern should be fine.
I'd still be on 7 if it weren't for DirectXwhatever
You'll be on linux by then.
Whatever is after 11 should be decent if the rule to skip every other windows holds up. I'm... Not as optimistic as I once was, but time will tell.
