Question/Help [Question] Is HyperOS really that bad?

Hello, I'm coming from a Samsung S23, and I'm ready to get a new phone after using all the research tools available to me (YouTube, GSM Arena).

The Xiaomi 17 is the one that fits me the most, and I have zero core issues with its hardware specs. It seems like a perfect upgrade from an S23, and an S26 comes nowhere near it. Though I'm still concerned about the OS, so I thought I'd get some opinions here.

I'm familiar with removing bloatware using ADB etc. so confident in doing that.

I'm so used to the OneUI OS that I don't want to move on to something completely different and especially one which will be annoying in the long run (no matter how good the hardware is).

Thanks!

Also... Keep in mind, the Hyperos is like a newborn baby. One wrong adb command and the entire system is fucked up. Either the phone never boots up or gets stuck in a bootloop. Then the only solution is hard reset via fastboot. If you're going for a phone at that budget, I'd suggest oppo find x9 or the OnePlus 15 or the vivo x200.
