I actually had to disable ipv6 just because Halo Infinite wouldn't load the UI. A couple websites were unreachable with it on too. Seems like it will still be awhile.

I don't trust Microsoft far as privacy or whatever. Just my experience has been fine running software. I do run ShutUp10 on it which I know doesn't make it perfect.

I've been using Windows 11 for about a solid year now. Had zero issues gaming and using various programs. Transition from 10 was flawless.

Unfortunately most people are ignorant and will only browse a few big sites never leaving the sphere. Reddit isn't even a good way to catalog and search to begin with, but I'd bet many don't know much else. Even with the blackouts slowly ending, I really do think this is an exodus of many power users and contributors. Quite different from older drama on the site.
