criddell is wondering what thing in common Fedora and Win11 had that made switching to either of them preferable to just sticking with Win10, I believe. As in: why not just stay on Win10, unless it was lacking something that Win11 and—apparently, if it was a viable alternative—Fedora have? What was the thing they both had that Win10 did not?

I assumed they wanted their OS to keep getting updates and new features.
handrous explained my question exactly right.

Windows 10 is still supported until 2025 and nobody would be surprised if they extend it two more years. If I were setting up a new machine today, I would probably still install Windows 10. Anything new is an unknown from a security perspective.
