In fact Linux users are the last people to be afraid of Windows.

I've been using Linux exclusively for about 6 years now (god...) and I'm terrified whenever I have to tinker with a windows machine at work. everything is so incredibly obtuse and arcane and ive forgotten all about it by now

I find it utterly confusing.
I had to troubleshoot a family member's computer, and the amount of redundant but separate systems floating around in it is insane. A Onedrive integrated into the OS, a separate Onedrive for syncing specific folders, yet another OneDrive to access work resources. 365 for office, 365 for OneDrive, 365 for Teams. Don't even get me started on Copilots being tossed around everywhere.
Half of these systems are auto-logged in during startup, the other prompting they need logins, and most of which flag for space issues and subscription notices.

Ok that's almost definitely a user error. Has to be. Not even winslop is that bloated by default yet

bloat accumulated over the lifetime of Win10 -> Win11.
Microsoft attempting to "unify" brands but instead causing massive confusion is the root cause.
Does the Onedrive integrated into Windows 11 replace the one that is a standalone taskbar app? Maybe? They certainly can't be the same thing because the taskbar Onedrive wasn't signed in on boot while the Windows 11 account is a Microsoft 365 online account.
Is the Microsoft 365 Personal subscription going to cover Microsoft Teams that work requires? Maybe not? I mean, it was previously Skype, and before that Lync.
And is Outlook or Outlook (New) prompting a sign in?
I couldn't begin to explain what went wrong and how to prevent such bloat in the future, because it was all official Microsoft software. There was nothing to "avoid" doing in the future. No teachable moment. Microsoft did this themselves.

Linux users aren't "afraid" of Winslop. They simply avoid the shite.
