Bought a high-end laptop recently and really wanted to give Windows 11 a try [after being a Linux user for about 7 years]. While the WSL and WSLg aspects of it along with development-related features have improved considerably, the base of the system as a whole was still the same mess.

So much telemetry stuff running in the background, so many unnecessary updates kicking in, heavy CPU and memory usage and the general perceived slowness of the OS have all immediately pushed me back to Linux. There's no bloat, the difference in performance is night and day, and I have to never worry about any privacy-related stuff.

Long live Linux Desktop.

Oh, cool, a recent high-end laptop that works well with linux. Could you share the model?


Dell G15 Ryzen Edition. From my experience all Dells and Lenovos are great with Linux compatibility.
