I never installed Windows 11 on any of my PCs, there's no place for it in my work or gaming regimen. If Linux is supposed to keep Windows honest, then some dev at Microsoft must have a Pinocchio nose.
Windows power users expect their habits and instincts to be right and treat the system as broken wherever they aren't. After all, they "know computers"! So when one of them hits a snag, even if it would have been avoided by heeding a system's warnings, reading the documentation, or adhering to its norms, they declare (for others to repeat) things like "Linux isn't (ready) for power users".

1: Windows power users arrive to Linux with a mixture of incredible fatigue from pop-ups and blindness to all interruptions. They are used to mindlessly batting away constant notifications and distractions. They are also used to a host of familiar warnings that they know are bullshit, and reflexively ignore. But the warnings on Linux systems are not the warnings they know. They don't actually know what they mean or which are safe. To the point that their blindness to warnings becomes outright comical, as in this infamous example: https://i.imgur.com/J39WfLK.png
All the operating systems are very different but also largely the same. There are a ton of dumb little things you need to learn for each of them. It’s annoying. Most people don’t spend the time and just go back to what they and works.
I don’t think your comment is particularly insightful or interesting. It’s bias way yonder too overwhelming.
We're a long way not because Linux cannot do it. We're a long way because publishers refuse to take it serious.
Like if most linux usage is SteamOS that suggests its good for gamers right?
And that all any other distro has to do, is target SteamOS in terms of gaming usability?
