Yeah, I completely understand. I bounced off Linux desktop several times and I'm a sysadmin.
It's only the last few years where there have been rapid and significant improvements to get gaming so it "just works*" and both of the popular desktop environments, KDE (Windows-like) and gnome (Mac-like) have had a heavy focus on fixing all of the little fiddly annoyances that turned people off.
It's not perfect and it can be annoying, but its dramatically better than it was 5 years ago while Windows keeps moving in the opposite direction.
I'm not trying to sell you on it really, Linus doesn't pay me commissions. Windows isn't THAT bad and learning a new OS is a big ask.
I've just been impressed by the state of things and enjoy yapping about it.
Obligatory "Gnome is NOT Mac-like" comment.
The Windows people think Gnome is Mac-like. Hah, no it's not! Gnome is its own weird thing.
KDE can actually get a lot closer to Mac than Gnome can, if you add a top menu bar, rearrange some stuff, and move the titlebar buttons around.
(We came from Mac land originally, and that's how we have our KDE set up. Mostly.)
