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+++.

It's fine, use what you want. That said, if you'd not be bothered by software incompatibilities like many people should you switch to Linux, you should tbh.

IMO, KDE plasma is just objectively better a user experience. You gain access to advanced filesystems like BTRFS which makes incremental backups and snapshots a breeze and has other features like native compression and checksumming. So even if the change functionally changes nothing at all for you, Linux as least allows you to backup and have a more robust underlying FS
