And I assume one needs a microsoft account to download and use wsl in the future when they fully switched to the app. Or am I wrong?

Sorry your totally wrong I built and run a hackingtosh. All the ISOs are totally free as in beer from Apple, with a 3rd party bootloader can be installed and run on most laptops desktops no security checks, no threats about legal action, full updates, full upgrades, full use of the apple store, and other 3rd party sites for apple software you can even open a app-store account, in 3 years i have not had any problems,
In fact although i donāt like admitting it the hackingtosh guys are the most professional out their, i can hack the mac to use any hardware by just editing files very simply and not break the system.
Also virtual desktops have been part of windows for a couple of years now
Just to be clear " I built and run a hackingtosh." so you are basically admitting to a crime. Installing and running any of Appleās OSes on non-Apple hardware is 100% illegal and a violation of Appleās terms and conditions. Just because the technical means have been hacked together to enable installation of the OS on non-Apple hardware doesnāt mean Apple has given anyone permission to do so.
āthe hackingtosh guys are the most professional out theirā - Perhaps you are confusing professional with technically proficient? What you are talking about is effectively stealing a proprietary OS ā¦ or maybe you just meant they are the most professional criminals out there?
Just because you havenāt had any problems in 3 years doesnāt necessarily make it okay.

even so, still I donāt like the handling of mac
yes, but not like in Plasma
At first glance, Windows 11 is pretty macOS-like, but thereās something about Linux in it as well. A little of that, a little of it, a little mule.
Yes along with 100s of 1000s of ex apple users and ordinary users, Apple is not Ms . you canāt steal code then copy-write it that its self against the law and they know that. they can try but you donāt hear any people get sentenced to death for using the Windows Mac ISOs in windows case they now just put a water mark at the bottom of the screen,the boot loader well that is different, hackingtosh does not modify or use the bootloader
Also the copy write is only in certain countries and under certain conditions.
Like its not illegal to download music in the UK only to upload, Its also not illegal to download the mac ISOs or win 11 ISOs or even Redhat straight from their official sites, what is illegal is to redistribute them,
In south America and most of the rest of the world they are available on every street corner along with CDs and films for $1 or 2. Only the US and Japan have these stupid copywrite laws they donāt own the world just think they do
that is not what you said is it
Let get this clear between windows and plasma their is nothing to like is their in my mind., The problem with mac its still in the 90s user wise. that i my feeling, lol 
I figured it out, I had to disable 3D acceleration in the VB settingsā¦(just for the record)

I too have days when I disagree with myself like that, but I try to refrain from doing it in public because it freaks out everyone around me.

There is still inconsistency, but it is tolerable. There was no need for new hardware requirements, as OS itself is in most cases just a reskinned Windows 10. As well, didnāt saw they mention any big changes that require NT kernel itself to be edited(features that are implemented atm). For me itās not worth, at least for now, a number jump.
Itās not a bad OS, itās fast, responsive, nice looking(mostly, where Mica is implemented) and animations are nice. There are little features that are nice(for example: snap layouts and groups).
Bloatware is not a big of a issue, right click uninstall. Itās a 2 min job.
Telemetry, same story as Windows 10, mostly can be disabled through settings. And this scripts for ādebloatingā often breaks OS, after a few updates, and have more negative than positive impact in long run(in terms of stability).
Compatibility is another plus.
āNewā file explorer is very slow.
In the end. for most users, it doesnāt matter. Will they open browser on Linux, Windows 10, 11, result is same. What comes preinstalled will be used.
For me, i will stick with dual boot. As some software and games i use and play, are only working under Windows and for everything else Linux.

Thatās the most cursed thing Iāve heard all day. Still better than windoze, though.

Thinks I like:
I multiboot a lot of different (mostly linux, like arch, ubuntu, lfs, clear linux etc) OSāes and often need access to my ext4 drives. Win11 greatest new feature for me is weāre finaly able to mount ext4 partitions directly using: āwsl --mount \.\PHYSICALDRIVE3 --partition 6ā
Another benefit of this is that I can use windows tools like Total Commander, Treesize Free Edtion and Everything, for which there are no good alternatives under Linux. (the other way works too, midnight commander, fzf, ripgrep etc on windows drives).
While managing debian servers and having my favorite tools like remmina and ansible in windows under wsl is a big plus too. So I can keep my workflow the same on windows or linux (dotfiles).
I donāt really need the new graphics stack (wslG) working on FreeRDP, X410 is the best X Server for wsl for me.
All in all I like Win11 (read: updated WSL2) a lot. But would prefer to stay in Linux if I could.
What I Dislike:
The constant privacy fight with telemetry. Pi-hole (or similar) is absolutely needed, along with hundreds of tweaks to keep things relatively āsaneā. (i use privacy sexy scripts for that).
My fairly recent laptop canāt run Windows 11 according to the health check application they distributed 
If it has TPM 1.2 you can set the installer to by pass the TPM 2.0 check. Other hardware requirements remain though.
