The Windows 11 announcement is what made me transition to Ubuntu in the last few weeks. So far, I made the transition on 4 out of 5 of my windows PC.
It's far from smooth enough to become mainstream (with ubuntu at least.)
A few example: Steam wouldn't launch on my PC with an Nvidia card. (At to install some x86 package to make it work).
File sharing just didn't work at all without manually edit the smb.conf file.
Ubuntu randomly ignore my router DNS settings. All my self-hosted stuff requiring local DNS randomly stops working unless I force ubuntu to use my own DNS server.
Some games just don't work on any of my PCs (even if they are gold/platinum in protondb).
And many more stuff that works out of the box with windows. Overall, despite the issues, the experience is still positive and i'm not going back.
