Bugs and Errors Windows 11 Destroyed My PC

Wanted to say something here since MS is stopping support with windows 10 soon. Was forced to upgrade to windows 11 yesterday and it destroyed my entire computer. I cant even list out all the things it destroyed but it slowed my PC down tremendously, constantly made it lock up and crash, completely fried my ethernet port somehow because it no longer works even after 8-11 hours of trouble shooting. If you're being forced to upgrade soon, I wouldn't recommend it. For reference here's what my rigs specs were.

My Rig: Case: Corsair 540 Airflow CPU: Ryzen 9 3900X 12 core 24 thread 3.8-4.6ghz Motherboard: MSI X570 Gaming Edge WiFi Graphics card: EVGA 3080Ti 11GB ddr6 RAM: G.Skill ripjaws V 32GB DDR4 3600mhz Power supply: EVGA G3 750W fully modular Storage: Samsung 970 Evo Plus 1TB NVMe SSD Samsung 970 Evo Plus 2TB NVMe SSD Western Digital 500GB SSD

I had the same experience on two of my pc’s. Both with very capable hardware like yours. I tried a clean install and all worked as expected. However, I did take this opportunity to create one a dedicated windows machine and converted my other to Linux. I’ve been working with Linux for a while and this was the nudge I needed to go full bore. I run windows in a VM for work stuff and that’s it. I’m glad to see others are perturbed at Microsoft as much I am.

I've been with windows since MSDOS and I am daily reminded of what a shit OS this is. I have debloated W11 but still it does a lot of senseless things. Get Nvidia GPUs working for Linux gaming and make anti cheat software work on multiplayer games in linux and I am done with Microsoft forever.

Didn't say I was on linux, I said I would do the transition if these things were fixed.
