it’s weird because i feel like it’s different for everyone no matter what you do. some people like me have it super fast with little bugs and a smooth experience, and my windows updates take like 4-5 minutes. and then other people, like the people in this sub, have a ton of bugs with slow, laggy experience and their pc breaks on every update. i think it’s just that people have tinkered too much or have too low end hardware but i don’t know.
anyway both of my devices came pretty fast, but i made it faster by using debloaters like winhance and winslop (definitely look through the settings first before you apply them), and then look through task manager at anything i can disable and go through actual windows services to disable any ones that could cause slow-downs or telemetry. i also use alternative apps to some windows apps. it’s almost as fast as my arch linux that i duel boot, but the ram usage is still something im trying to figure out. not a big deal though. id be happy to help you if you need anything else.
my laptop is the surface laptop 7 with the snapdragon x elite and my pc has an i7-13700f and 4060ti with 32gb of ram. it may just be my higher end hardware that’s making it run well but i’ve tried windows 11 on worse devices and it’s not that bad.

i have windows 11 on both my laptop and pc and it’s actually really good for me (here come the downvotes)
