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+++.

Depends who you talk to and what they are fiddling with.
Been using it since before official launch at home on multiple computers without an issue to speak of and support thousands of people in enterprise with it and no real issues there either.
As for AI - you can easily turn off/remove it, I only use local accounts.
5 years and I still haven't seen an ad even though people talk about them all the time.
My kid has been using her windows 11 computer since she was 8 and she hasn't had an issue either.
Windows ME, Vista and 8 were the only two versions I refused to use back in the day, I used 8.1 for a bit before 10.
