W11 has more efficient power usage and task management. Outside of that, there's rounded UI and... uh... yea just rounded UI. If this is a new PC install or just like a fresh install, just upgrade to Windows 11. W10 is eventually going to be discontinued sooner and the changes aren't that drastic to warrant staying downgraded. I also recommend something like Open Shell to fix a lot of the gripes power users have with the UI, like the limited right-click context menus. Personally, I use StartAllBack. WinAeroTweaker is a great software to disable some telemetry, add important options to context menus, etc.

imo if you have a compatible machine (& prefer the taskbar at the bottom of the screen), then yes. it's essentially just 10 with some kernel/core updates & a new ui that's much better.
prefer the taskbar at the bottom of the screen
This is 90% of the reason i haven't upgraded to 11 yet. I want my taskbar vertically on the left damnit!

Haven't had any issues personally, and haven't noticed any massive changes from 10.
No. It's strictly worse than Windows 10.
I hate the new start bar, and that you no longer can group icons. I've installed startisback to get the win 10 bar.
Not really, unless you're a fan of the UI/UX changes.
At the moment no, is trash, the taskbar is broken and unusable.
In September looks like they're adding back basic functionality to the taskbar so it can be considered an upgrade
I don't know how it took so much time to fix that taskbar... Incompetence? Everyone with more than 1 year of experience left the team?

I run Linux too and know that both 10 and 11 run the same couple games exactly as well, but Windows 11 won’t install unless you have a TPM module set up properly on your motherboard. Just because of that I use 10 because of less hassle.
Windows 10 feels like a better Operating System, with Win11 being a beta program for features.
I tried Win11 for a month before switching back. The completely unnecessary changes to the Start and right click menus killed it for me.
It felt like I'd taken my car into the shop for an engine tune-up and it came out with a square steering wheel and the gas/brake pedals were reversed.
When it comes to windows, ALWAYS install the lower number when you have a choice.
This has been true since WIN 95.

I've been running 11 since the first leak and haven't looked back. I actually really dislike using 10 in comparison.
Not worth it. For everyday use you won't see a difference. For some games, and if you happen to run Unreal Engine or some software that needs DirectX - you may find compatibility and stability issues.
