Not just yet, is it nice? I remember I didn't move from 7 to 10 for years because I was angry at the future, but these days I do just want better stability and security.

It's very stable and responsive. Bootup and shutdown times are also significantly quicker.

I'll try it on a secondary machine, and if I like it I'll install on main. Ty for the hint <3

You can Install It on a VM, thereby there's no need to touch your physical machine.

I never really like doing that to be honest. VM's are great for testing programs/malware/ideas in my eyes, but I could never use one to work in or do stuff. It always just feels weird I guess.

That said, It will at least give you a very good Insight of the overall usage of Windows 11.

BSPWM is the best WM I've ever used.
It has great documentation, easy configuration, integration with polybar, is written in C, and is bug free (in my experience). I don't know how anyone could use anything else.
