There's one feature that win11 has over win10 that I wish was there, and that's the default layout manager is superior to windows 10's, and less fidgety and better hotkeys than what's offered with Power Toys. Especially vertical monitor support, which win10s layout manager never got an update for. And as a Tie-Fighter monitor setup user (4k portrait, WQHD landscape, 4k portrait) having an effective layout manager is crucial.
However, there's 3rdParty layout managers that are even better than the win11 implementation. Butt to be able to get the default support of an effective layout manager is quite nice.
That said, that's the only feature I really like aside from some nominal improvements/optimizations to background systems (network stack, Bluetooth management, "game mode") and services. That's not enough for me to transition when there's so many other things that were done to make it a worse experince.
I'm excited to transition my personal desktop to PopOS once win10 reaches EoL. Maybe Valve will drop their latest SteamOS in time for the Win10 EoL hoping to attract all those gamers on non-TPM 2.0 supported systems that are still great gaming rigs. I know I'd at least give it a go.
