I am trying to make the switch. The final straw for me was the starfield ad on my lockscreen followed by an accidental click that led to an ad for gamepass. I just watched 3 or 4 videos trying to do something simple that I don't know how to do. Each video from different creators have this running on a screen. Thought it was kind of funny.
Edit I really struggled getting games to work so I quit trying.
Oh I know exactly the ads your talking about, the setting for that is misleading option that is super easy to miss during setup, Microsoft has been doing that since Windows 10 released and its quite frustrating.
Yes the terminal can be daunting for a beginner, in my first experience with linux was all the way back when Ubuntu was the most popular distro and the only way I got through some of the confusing stuff was from copying and pasting commands from a youtube guide.
