Should just use Linux, tbh.

It's true. My new windows laptop crashes, lags, and constantly blasts the fan. My older Linux laptop does none of those things even under greater workloads.

That sounds like some other sort of issue going on, not Win11.

Possibly bloatware related, unless it’s a clean install of Windows.

It was clean and I Uninstaller a ton of stuff, made the ui minimalist as possible. It's usable and powerful, but it's laggy and thr Microsoft apps like to crash.

One hardware difference is that Windows is on a Ryzen 7 plus discrete graphics vs the Linux (endeavourOS) one has a slightly older i7 (12th gen) and integrated graphics. They both have 32GB of RAM.
