Why Linux is Better Than Windows 11

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.
- I never thought there'd come a day where I'd read this statement
- NoooOooo, regular users don't have time for... Less technical issues! /s
  
  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.
- In the long time before now, we had many problems with wi-fi. Now we don't speak the word. Ethernet cable is the only way for connectivity.
  I recently drilled a hole through 21cm reinforced concrete, just to avoid wi-fi.
  
  i mean if you have that much concrete between you and the isp line you kinda have no choice
- My Windows (10) broke Bluetooth in an update over two years ago and the situation has not changed. Never had a problem with Linux on the same machine (dual boot).
  If "it just works" was ever true on Windows, those days are behind us.
Microsoft is in talks to buy Tik Tok and thereby make is so uncool it fails, so windows isn't all bad.
Linux>Windows10>Windows11
Connect to your VPN before opening peertube.
- Why?
  Genuine question. I haven't really used peertube.
  
  Your IP gets exposed to others since it has a p2p feature to share the bandwidth of the video with others.
  
  Probably because you don't want your IP address to be associated with some of stuff on there.
I think the link is wrong. It just points to all the videos.

Because I said so!
I started making a joke site https://windowsupgra.de/ (hosted on codeberg using codeberg pages). The goal is to make it look like some amazing way to upgrade Windows and actually install Linux. Like those product or marketing pages selling you something.
It's completely rough, but if someone with UI experience could spiffy that up, feel free to make a PR with screenshots. Don't forget, codeberg doesn't have a CI. So at the moment, deployment is literally copying src/ to another folder where the pages branch is checked out, committing, and pushing it.
