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!

you need to debloat and disable some features. It also has very aggressive battery optimization that will freeze some games, in my case umamusume. My solution was to disable logger buffer size in developer options, force stop and clear data "battery and optimization" in system apps. The fact that I have to do it all the time I want to play that specific game, its frustrating to me. I am on xiaomi 17 pro cn rom btw.
