I have the opposite experience.
Windows consistently gets in my way. Linux has been a breathe of fresh air and stays out of my way. It just works.
I now use Linux as my desktop at work (Debian 12) and at home (EndeavorOS).
Damn this is the opposite of my experience. As much as I appreciate some aspects on the philosophical side of Linux, and the lack of spying etc, but really the main reason I've stuck with it is that it just works.
My updates don't break things, my updates only happen when I allow them to happen, I don't have to periodically run disk cleanup and crap like that to remove dozens of gigabytes of useless data like old windows updates, my search works properly, I dont get ads in my OS after some updates that I have to find out how to disable, I don't have shitty MS apps that I can't uninstall, dark mode actually applies to my entire system so I don't get blinded at night when I open XYZ program.
I probably lose a couple of hours every month on my work laptop just doing silly Windows nonsense that I just don't have to deal with on Linux.
