I would suggest to stick with 10 if your hardware allows. I was since
June 2012 on 10. As the developers were testing and publishing new
code, it was difficult from time to time. Of course, if you can afford
the difficult times or have new hardware, take 11. If not, stay with
10. Of course, this is also true if you simply want to help the
developers.
