I vote for windows 11, it will utilize the P and E cores better.

There's no difference between 10 and 11 anymore. It's highly unlikely to find a case of Win 10 being ahead by a significant margin.

that's true.
Windows 11 is as bad as windows 10 with the chromebook cores.
even newer games like valorant run on the last e core rather than p cores.
R6 Siege stutters a lot with e cores enabled and DX11 since the last season (again) but windows 10 still has some DRM issues that are not present on Windows 11.

It’s better but as proven in benchmarks only about 0-1%, so it’s hardly worth talking about.

11 is just a refreshed 10, nothing special about it, more of the same crap. Nothing good about the gui, clunky as hell

Windows 10 is fully supported at least 2024 or even 2025, so no worries there. 11 is as relevant as Vista at this point or 8, it has zero upsides compared to 10.

11 is less likely to have scheduling issues, but they're still making it more or less work perfectly on 10.

IMO 11 is a clear and undeniable improvement over 10 - you'll never even notice the changes that make life better if you're short tempered and only get mad that you have to learn a few trivial changes.

multi monitor and high DPI scaling is way, WAY better in 11 and the OS-wide dark theme support is fantastic.

No point changing something which works perfect when there’s 0 relevant upsides to 11. Microsoft didn’t force us this time via DX, otherwise I would’ve even used 8.1 way longer. It’s a nice OS but it’s the 8.1 and Vista compared to 10, maybe Windows 12 will be more relevant, otherwise I’ll switch when the support runs out.

I just listed a whole bunch of relevant upsides. 11 isn't just a reskin, they just kept a lot the same to stop people bitching about being unable to find various settings and features.
It's like saying 10 is NT with a theme on top because the classic control panel is the same.

No one forces you to use it or like it, but for the love of google dont spread baseless crap just because non-tech journalists wrote a bunch of clickbait about it when it first came out

I don’t think you can compare 10 to NT comparing it to 11, that’s a little far fetched. As most people already pointed out (everywhere not just here), it’s mostly a incremental upgrade and a cosmetic one, and none of the “functions” it brings to the table are important. I’m sorry, it’s not Windows 7 or 10, it’s just like another 8.1.
