But if I just wanted to browse the web, check my email, shop, and do my banking, Linux would work out of the box better than Windows 11.
Yeah I agree. There are trade-offs but the number of issues I have on windows is far from zero, and like you said, a lot of the issues I do have in linux only happen when I opt into doing more advanced things. Normal computer stuff, once Linux and a browser is installed? Easier on a daily basis. Some Linux installers are easier than the windows installer too
