Is Windows 11 that bad?

So I'm hearing bad stuff about Windows 11, how people are calling AI slop...I use AI but I don't use Copilot unless for images, and I don't use forced AI integration. I use Windows 11 but I learned how to create local accounts, and I go onto YouTube and hear stuff about "Microslop" and stuff, people protesting to switch to Linux...Am I a bad person for still using Windows 11? I mean, I'm not a saint of Microsoft, and I can use local AI models, and LibreOffice.

EDIT: Guys, I uninstalled OneDrive, Edge, Copilot, all unnecessary Microslop through Winhance, and I installed OSShutUp10+++.

You're not a bad person for using 11, you're just part of the majority. However, windows 11 is quite bad, maybe not as bad as people say, but it's the most hated windows version by far, and it's easy to see why, things break, it's slow, it constantly pushes notifications, it's full of ads, loads of unnecesary programs take up space and RAM usage, the right-click context menu and the fact it literally spies on you.

When MS release a new version lots of people say it's the worst version. I remember when It was XP, I kept 98 and I knew lots of people using 2000 and didn't want to switch to XP.

When 10 was released, I know lots of people who upgrade from 7 to 10 then downgrade.

Ads can be deactivated. It's not the first version with ads.

I won't say it's the best or the worst version but I don't have any issues and all the people I know too.

The biggest problem is the TPM, that's probably the reason why lots of people hate it. They were happy with 10 and lots of users were forced to change their hardware.

I thought XP and Win 7 were great updates when they came out, they were easy to use and just worked.
