It has gotten a lot better from what I can tell, though that is just based on what I see others struggle with (or not struggle with as may be the case).
I can't judge this directly (I'm in way too deep, running Arch etc), I first started using Linux seriously in 2004, stopped using Windows except for gaming by 2006, and touched it less and less over the years. I have not used Windows 11 at all.
I haven't done it recently but back when I was learning Linux, I definitely bricked my fair share of installations updating and installing things.
It was probably fixable to a more experienced person but it wasn't to me.
Linux is a lot of things but brick-proof for novice users isn't one of them.
