When I was offered a free sample, win11 ran slower and controls were walled off from the control panel and access instructions were behind paywalls. Also some of my games wouldn't play.

Me also can't stand the changed control panel UI. Most of the times I just hit WIN+R and type "control"

I have Windows 11 on my laptop but 10 on my desktop. 11 was a mess and is still a mess. Don't get me wrong, 10, 8, 7, and Vista were that way too for like a year or two. But I feel like a lot of 11's problems are not going to be solved by bug-fixing.

I am using windows 11 since the preview both for work (dev) and for gaming (although I switched to the steam deck as my main gaming platform) and don't remember any breaking or blocking bugs. On the contrary, using bluetooth headset got a lot better and easier with win11. Which bugs did you spot?

Ech, I didn't document them, and I don't have a great memory for things that change. The one I remember off the top of my head were the explorer.exe crashes several times a day, and the fact that the UI still behaves freaking weirdly.

7 wasn't really like that. It was more of a vista second edition.

7 was buggy when new like all the rest. I remember. Your argument is like saying that 10 wasn't buggy when new because it was 8 second-edition. But it was buggy.

8.1 was fairly not buggy it was equivalent to seven. Until Windows 11 Microsoft had alternated core updates and feature updates. So XP is a less buggy version of 2000, 98 had 98se. There are a couple outliers like me and Windows 10, but Windows 10 is kind of like 8.2, and they abandoned the dos based kernels so I me never got a second version
