Wow windows never looked so good!

True. Windows 10 is atrocious. I have to say, a debloated Win11 feels almost too good.

So, lets focus on making Linux distros shiny and easy to use!

If you don't think the modern Linux distro are shiny and easy to use, how long has it been since you tried? There are plenty of feature complete distros that are shiny and modern and comfortable to start using as a lifelong windows user

I tried switching to linux permanently three times. Each time it got easier and more polished until eventually I didn't go back.

I am daily driving Linux...

Mainstream distros are not great products. Downstreams like uBlue do a good job, but have their own issues.

I use PC before MS DOS times and I also used several Linux distros in the past, last Kubuntu and Mint, always in dual boot. But I never saw big advantages above a gutted Windows, but problems with a lot of apps which I needed. Currently I'm on a heavy cleaned W11 which works fast, stable and exactly how I want 100%, why because of this I have to change it, installing another OS? There are no practical reasons for it.
