There never has been, for 30+ years.

  Win11 remains the prince OS, supporting bleeding-edge hardware.
 

It's ruined simply by outpacing the hardware
people typically have to boot it,

It's not easy to even find a prebuilt AMD 5600 system more expensive
than that.  So Win11 has NOT outpaced low-end hardware.

  You're tolerating the bloat, I'm not. 

I want some evidence for Windows 'bloat' that affects you.
In the face of $50 to $70 per TB of SSD, an extra 40GB of storage costs approx $2 to $3.  And 40GB is probably way overstating the incremental storage space required for Windows and Windows apps vs Linux and Linux apps.

In the face of $2 per GB of DDR4-3200 memory, an extra 4GB of RAM for Windows costs $8.

So that's $10 of hardware 'bloat' for Windows
You spend more than that every week on KY jelly.
So why are you bitching?

As for linking my phone, my
computer has Bluetooth, I imagine I could use that.

Imagination can't help you here.
