Linux irritates me. A lot less than windows. And Microslop has to find alternative ways to spy on me and get my money. And it's much snappier and less demanding on my system resources. And I don't get in-OS advertisements. And searching for settings and applications actually works. But it's still irritating.
I get why people stick with windows. Transitioning is hard. Windows isn't on a trajectory that I like one single bit though and for me, I needed out of the sunk cost fallacy of many years that was holding me captive. I'm intermediate in what I can do in Linux and advanced in what I'd like to be able to. If you're a basic/mostly basic user of a PC then it's going to be less irritating for you than it is for me.
If you aren't married to certain workflows or particular applications that aren't supported on Linux (Adobe, anti-cheat games) then it's really a matter of picking your poison.
Not me being a enby Linux nerd lol
