It's just ignorant GuhNoo drooling.  No substance to their fantasies. 
There never has been, for 30+ years.

Win11 Pro runs fast on my low-end system:

item and current new prices:

AMD 5600G chip  $139
MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk mobo $140
Crucial 16GB DDR4-3200 memory  $33
nVidia GTX 750Ti 2GB single-fan video  $124
Team 256GB NVMe boot/app drive  $23
WD 2TB   SSD  data/storage drive $189

Total $648

It's not easy to even find a prebuilt AMD 5600 system more expensive 
than that.  So Win11 has NOT outpaced low-end hardware.

The benchmarks on my system are low, but in use it's fast at everything. 
  The most noticeable bottleneck by far is copying big files to my HDD 
backup drive.

No duh.  Windows runs all their home and work software, documents, and 
games.

I can plug my iPhone into a USB port and it shows up in Windows Explorer 
right away (after I hit 'Allow' on the phone).  At that point I can 
mostly treat the iPhone as any other storage device.

Can you plug your Android phone into your Debian system and read the 
picture files just as easily?
