Windows 11 is nowhere near as terrible as people here make it out to be.
Its not terrible, objectively speaking, but as someone who uses it for work - I don't care to use it at home at all. The only Windows instances at home are VMs running W10 LTSC, and they are strictly for specialty software (vehicle diagnostics stuff) or legal reasons (my lawyer requires Adobe Acrobat for PDFs). I have zero physical Windows machines otherwise.
I just disabled all the annoying stuff, uninstalled Onedrive, turned off all the news and stock prices on the lock screen etc.
A bit annoying I had to do that, but whatever.
Try to run it on 4/8 gb RAM (officially supported configuration and many brand new laptops still are sold with 8gb soldered) and experience how worse is compared to w10
