I have a 2022 mid-range laptop which does work with Windows 11, but sounds like a jet engine when I try to run it.

I also have Arch installed, which runs silently 80% of the time, with moderate fan usage the other 20%.

As you may expect from this, 11 is typically sluggish, especially under load; whereas Arch is typically quick and responsive, with moments of lag noticeable but infrequent.

Under the circumstances, using 11 would be a terrible choice. There’s just no reason to subject my device to it.
