I've been using it for over 2 decades as a main OS. I loathe using windows now. Their ads, including web results, and privacy issues. It's just become cumbersome. You have multiple choices of desktop environments in linux. Don't like your current DE? Switch to another gnome, kde, cinnimon, mint, etc. You need a program? Install it from the package manager. Remote mount a drive? sure, you don't have to jump through hoops like windows.
