Went with windows 10 for a VM, less cow manure to deal with (still bloated and useless without debloating). After booting nearly all of the calls home got rejected anyway because they were marked as spyware related. I would imagine they got that close to 100% on windows 11.

Gaming on linux is fine, framerates and cpu usage are higher and less despite the wine/proton wrappers.

Windows 10 install still has like six traps in the setup wizard. If that’s the better option I shudder to think what 11 looks like. I call it adversarial computing where your OS is explicitly at cross purposes to what is best for you.
