What motivates our userbase to use 10 over 11 (or vice versa)

I should add I feel like 10 might have been a better experience for me but (and I can't recall why not) think I needed 11 for my current build.

i actually tried windows 10 yesterday on my new sig rig, and had issues with ethernet working, so i said screw it and went to win 11 and everything worked perfect. it doesn't feel bloated or anything after i went through and uninstalled a bunch of apps, and all that junk

feels very clean and no issues so far, plus all the videos i have seen say i get about 5-6 fps more in games across the board with my current specs, minus one or two outliers that favor win 10.

i think i prefer win 11 now honestly, i do things a little differently than most people though, like i uninstall media player, etc etc - in favor of foobar and vlc player and so on and so forth

I have LTSC 2021 on my X299 and LTSC 2019 on my X58 system. There's too many things that I don't like about Windows 11 so I'll keep my PCs on Windows 10 for years to come. I'm probably going to switch back to Linux on my main PC unless Windows 12 (LTSC) will be good enough. I do prefer some UI things like the transparency effects on Windows 11, they remind me a bit of Aero (Vista/7) which was my favorite UI design on Windows.

Windows 10 non-LTSC support will end next year but I hope programs will support it for at least few years after EOL like they did with XP and 7. Win10 IoT LTSC will receive security updates up to 2032 but I doubt most mainstream programs would support it for that long.
