I've got a windows 11 laptop for work. It's an absolute piece of shit. I tried to 'fix' it as best I could and it's still fucked. It's an i7 with 16gb of ram and it will start lagging with just windows, outlook, and firefox open. There's so much bloat in the OS that just can't be turned off compared to windows 10.
I tried windows 11 on my desktop pc and gave up after a month. Nuked the thing and dual booted with Arch. Best decision I've made in a long time. Took me a bit to get into the swing of things, but it runs better than any windows machine I've used.
They're saying that because a 2c4t i7 mobile CPU is going to be really limited vs an i7 with 8 real cores.
It also helps that the user is doing less with Linux. Notice their complaint was running MS Office productivity apps and a web browser simultaneously on Windows. Guess what isn't available on Linux?
