Complaining about UI7 update

I updated my software today, and honestly regret it greatly. My phone started lagging and became slower, it doesn't let me update my software again, for it gets stuck and complains about my internet connection, which is good, it is the system not working properly, the phone doesn't follow fast typing,  it lags and doesn'tinclude anything written during that short lag, and for me at least, it's annoying when i have to actually think which upper corner i have to swipe down from to find what i want. It was more simple when the quick settings and notifications were in the same place and it didn't matter where you swiped down from. The system searchbars moved from upper screen to lower screen, why? Idk. But i find it hindering when every single searchbar i use outside samsungs is in the upper screen. Then,we get to the themes etc. I didn't ask for my fidgets to have a forced photo in them, the gray bubble around them with adjustable contrast was perfect and simple. I also liked the previous, more simple app icons, the reddish camera icon and blue clock icon were simple and nice. The new notification bubbles are also worse than the old ones. I liked, maybe even loved the old ones. Samsung, please, just please give us the ability to have these simple things fixed, and let us actually manage the themes etc, if you go and shout around how things are more customizable than before...

Am I autistic? Yes. Did I find the old software less overwhelming? Yes. Did I find the old appearance less overwhelming? Also yes. Do I want to revert back to that software version? Absolutely yes! Am I considering switching brands just to have the system appearance i like? Yes, why wouldn't I?

System search bar

Lots of discussion on this in the past. I don't recall seeing any alternative. I vaguely recall it may have been a Google initiated change which, if this is the case (and I am far from 💯 on this) would be the same for all android devices.

I think the info that Google initiated the search bar placement is false. If they're on about the search bar in the app draw it's still at the top on Pixel phones
