No. It's strictly worse than Windows 10.
Not really, unless you're a fan of the UI/UX changes.
My work laptop doesn't support Windows 11 so I'll keep using 10 until the support runs out or the laptop gets replaced.
At the moment no, is trash, the taskbar is broken and unusable.
In September looks like they're adding back basic functionality to the taskbar so it can be considered an upgrade
I don't know how it took so much time to fix that taskbar... Incompetence? Everyone with more than 1 year of experience left the team?
What’s broken and unusable about the taskbar? I’ve had w11 installed since the beta days, and other than aligning it back to the left (my webcam blocks the bottom center of my screen), I haven’t had any issues with it

Last time I used 11 it had a few things which are deal breakers for me.
- All windows of same application are grouped. In 10, you can have it group them never or only when task bar is full. On 11 you have no option. It takes an extra click every time you want to cycle to a specific window.
- Seconds on the clock are gone. I use that on 10 occasionally and want it back.
- Context menu in explorer was changed and is way more frustrating to use. My biggest gripe is the keyboard shortcuts were changed for no reason.
- The ribbon menu is going away for nested menu system. Ribbon is objectively better for repeating multiple commands.
- Gaming performance is worse, specifically VR.
- UI/UX changes, some are good, some are bad. It’s not a polished OS with inconsistencies everywhere. In 10 at least they tried to make each level of the UI consistent with itself. 11 is just a hodgepodge of useless shit.

Not worth it. For everyday use you won't see a difference. For some games, and if you happen to run Unreal Engine or some software that needs DirectX - you may find compatibility and stability issues.
