Win11 can be a great OS, actually.  It's less so when it's pirated, 
though, and these manhandling schemes with Rufus, to get around TPM, 
show that some people simply want to claim Windows for its software, but 
are willfully ignorant of or are outright trying to deconstruct 
Microsoft's established patterns for how the OS is installed and used. 
There's just not a good reason for this, ultimately, it's trying to 
orchestrate a husbandry of the OS that simply isn't necessary, if one 
were humble, I do change important settings from the defaults, and such, 
but forcing modifications to the Windows system as it's delivered is 
just attempting to customize the product into something that ultimately 
fails to retain the components that MS provides, it's running away from 
what a complete Windows OS is.  I, for one, want the experience to be 
fundamentally intact.

It's hot garbage - worse than 8/10, which were already worse than 7.
Having failed to capture the tablet market with a bad imitation of iOS,
they've apparently set their sights on failing to capture Mac users
with a bad imitation of OSX - and the inevitable UI fuckery would be
annoying enough, but on top of that you're perpetually stuck with a
dozen Edge processes running in the background to serve up the New New
Flavor of GUI, sucking up more RAM for less usability, their IPP driver
is shit on top of WSD still being shit, Defender is more of a hog and
more controlling than ever, etc. etc. etc.

Burn it with fire.

I dunno, I think my experience with this eight-thread mini PC proves 
Win11 is good, if it can perform well on the hardware I'm using, with 16 
GB RAM shared with its GPU, then Linux is only better on computers that 
are inadequate to run modern Windows.

I think that's a chromium 'feature'.  I use Brave, which is also chromium 
based, and it launches a lot of processes. 'killall' comes in handy if you 
want to shut it down without closing all the tabs.

Are you not aware that you are communicating with
a confirmed mangy sodomite?

Yes, that is correct.  Joel sticks things up his asshole.
In fact, he most likely has a butt plug up his ass as he
writes these posts.

Is this the kind of person with which you would like to
correspond?

I hope not.

The only thing I "stick up my asshole" is a finger, if I feel that urge, 
I like real live girlcock on a transgender woman, or potentially a cock 
on a man, beyond that.  Your obsession with that is merely an excuse not 
to deal with how I pwn you over and over about your nutty computer ventures.
