I actually haven't had any issues with Windows 11. I should switch to Linux though but I just don't want to do the work. I was supposed to buy a new computer this year which is when I'd have done it but then RAM prices did their thing and I was like fuck that.
I've figured out how to remove the worst of the slop (pro tip: pirate the pro version) but at the end of the day you're fighting against the OS and you shouldn't have to do that. I've been putting off the switch for the same reason you have but I think it's necessary because this shit is only going to get worse.
