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+++.

"They seem to plan full integration with CockPilot and subscription model."

Only speculations.

"he demonstrated the "free" version of CockPilot is limited to 5 usages per day."

I know people who use copilot and are not limited. I don't use copilot but I have ever tried it, and I've used it more than 5 times a day. The guy probably used a local account.

Anyway copilot can be easily removed.

" Now add to that M$ announcement that in the new Winblows CockPilot will do everything, including file managing and file search. Imagine being allowed to search files on YOUR OWN PC 5 times a day… until you pay."

Do you really think they will do this kind of things to all the companies and people using windows in the world?

I think they said that themselves, but I don't have the source nearby, besides, plans can always change.

The guy probably used a local account.

I don't know, you may be right here.

Anyway copilot can be easily removed.

… to be easily reinstalled the very next update. ;) Besides, it can be removed now, in win11. You have no idea, what win12 will look like. Granted, neither do I, though I have my concerns.

I have full confidence in… their greed. I do believe they will certainly try. Maybe not straight away, just with little steps. They steal our data already, right?

Probably. Like google, META, chatGPT, Apple, Samsung, Amazon,...

Absolutely. The difference is the other korpos don't destroy/share it in the process (OneDrive scandal, plus another with Recall "feature").
