Off the bat, one observation: #Windows11 is a PAIN to install. I had a completely unformatted drive and the installer couldn't install the OS on it until I went into the command line and "cleaned" the drive. Compare this to #ZorinOS, which installed without crying at all.
On top of this, the #Windows11 installation is taking twice as long as the #ZorinOS installation. For #ZorinOS I chose to run updates upon install, but #Windows11 forces me to run the updates. Nonetheless, installing #Windows11 alone took slightly longer than installing both #ZorinOS and its updates. I gave my younger sibling a bath, it was taking so long (I'm not even joking!). It's installing the updates now, but that's taking about as much time as installing #Windows11 did. 😮💨
I'm installing #Windows11 in large part because it's good for me to have some version of #Windows, but if I came magically make my #DRM removal tools and games run on #Linux, I'll be kissing #Windows goodbye almost completely.
