Unpopular opinion Windows 11 is best device for development + entertainment if you have high end PC/Monitor etc.

I cant use mac with my LG OLED cause refresh is limited to 60HZ (WTF apple) i dont have access to CUDA and a few linux based python libs and ofc most games just dont work.

I can't use Linux cause 60%+ of games (multiplayer) that i play with my friends just dont work on linux or have random crashes, my Bluetooth connections are trash and smoothness of the KDE/Gnome isn't as good as windows (on nvidia gpu).

On windows everything just works. If i need linux i just install wsl2 + cuda if i need video editing software i can even use KDenlive, if i want to turn on some multiplayer game i just press play and I can play it.

ofc. I turn off all the "seciurity" stuff and block most of the microsoft ad's domain in pi.hole but still from normal use cases for most people that i know of in age of 20-30 (mostly other developers) W11/W10 is just best overall experience and everyone is using it daily. Maybe when i get older and wont spend as much time on entertainment Ill go for some GNOME based linux distro and buy 5m cable to connect my headphones.

This is almost the exact path I took.

I had exactly this opinion until the grey beard mentor in my life said "bluetooth is stupid, get another laptop for real work and get a long cable for your headphones".

I still have a windows rig for games with friends (and so does my grey beard mentor).

Yep windows as the average business OS and and gamers' choice at home is not going away anytime soon.

In the enterprise environment I have control over all of these settings through GPO or our MDM so it's irrelevant.

At home it's a bit more cumbersome but can be overcome as well.
