It depends on what "crap" is involved specifically and your use case, I suppose.
I think it's worth calling out that Win11 does indeed look extremely different depending on what settings you pick. Even out of the box my Win11 does not look like the mess a lot of the online advocacy likes to show. I'm guessing a bunch of the settings are saved to the MS account (which is again something people insist on considering anathema but I've used since before it was cool to hate it for several unrelated reasons).
Win11 has some quirks (where is my vertical dock, MS, it's been years), some inexplicable technical flaws (how is your indexing so bad, MS, and why is the online search-enabled start menu so slow but the multisearch bar instant) and it is occassionally annoying to have to keep up with poorly communicated new features I don't care about (what's new screens, MS, they exist for a reason), but it's mostly just... you know, Windows.
I'll say this, if all my system partitions exploded today and I had to reinstall everything I'd definitely have an easier time getting back to where I was from scratch on my Windows devices/drives than on my Linux ones.
