I still don't see a single actual advantage of W11 over 10. The OS drains more system resources so it's less performant, and every other "feature" I've seen looks like a double edged sword at best, or an anti-feature at worst.
I have had literally the exact opposite experience. Performance is better, "resource usage" is more or less the same, and most importantly battery life was like 50% better (still awful on my machine, but less bad).
From the user's perspective there really aren't any. MS could have stopped with W10, or even W7, and things would have been just fine.
Currently, DirectStorage and the thread scheduler for those with current Intel processors.
