@kimcrawley I must concur. I have ran Linux as a daily driver 2004-2017 and it really didn't work well.
I am back as of this week after Microsoft abandoned Windows 10 and Win 11 is hot garbage.
And ... it works. I am running a HDMI 2.1 monitor via a KVM and the whole shebang works. I plugged in a Thunderbolt cable to network with my MacBook, kaboom, it just works (I needed to set my own IP I wonder whether even that is automated somehow but I don't care). I tried a simple game, just worked.
