My computer would often have trouble connecting to WiFi on Windows 11, literally to the point that the WiFi option wasn't showing up at all. I switched that computer to Linux late December and I have not had that problem yet.

Getting certain programs to work on my Linux machine does take extra time as opposed to if it were Windows, but it's counterbalanced by all those times I'd have to look up how to get the WiFi option back and try every single thing on the list because it was never just one simple solution that worked each time… also I don't get hit by unwanted forced updates, and now I update voluntarily without fear of even more unwanted telemetry being stuffed in there.

But if I just wanted to browse the web, check my email, shop, and do my banking, Linux would work out of the box better than Windows 11.

Did you try sfc.exe /scannow?
