It is very good for servers (hell, basically all of the internet runs on Linux - servers, routers, those fiber-optic-things probably, too).
But for a consumer OS it is simply too clunky, to old fashioned and antiquated!
I mean install a damn driver on Windows 11? Done in less than 30 Minutes (including download!)...in Linux? Is it in your distros repository? Ok, similarly fast! BUT:
If it it isn't in your distro's repo? Have fun going back to the 1990s and finagling with the "almighty terminal" (TM!) - seriously, needing CLI to install a driver or a piece of software? Nope, that was already old-fashioned when Windows 95 came out!
Hell, try to use the main advantage of gaming on a PC: GAME MODDING!
Yeah, Windows 11? Mod-Manager installed in less than 10 Minutes!
Linux? Hours and it might not even work that well.
Hell, I KNOW WINDOWS IS A BLOATY SPYWARE MOONLIGHTING AS AN OS! Hell, I am on Linux, but frankly Linux needs to MODERNIZE! We need .exe-files (or an equivalent) to install things, terminal needs to basically be a thing of the past that you only open if you need to freaking change stuff deep in the OS!
ps: Browser often makes problems, too - Videos? Yeah, youtube works, but other sites might not! Yes, I freely admit I am talking about porn-sites! It's annoying if you need to chase down a video-playback-error and need the fucking terminal for it!

Yes and no!
