Hello, this is the Linux comment
I'd switch if every discussion about Linux didn't devolve into lengthy discussions about the complicated ways you need get anything working on it.
There are certain Linux distributions that come with all basics pre-installed and are designed to be convenient. All ubuntu derivatives, Mint, Pop_OS, Zorin etc. I know it because I use one and it's just as convenient as Windows.
You can be sure these distributions will cause you no trouble because they are made by companies that put them in their computers or design them to be on pre-builts and therefore cannot be allowed to be difficult to use. For example, System76 developed Pop_OS to be used in their PCs. SteamOS is developed by Valve for the handheld console. These aren't indie projects some hobbyists made.
For your programs, we now have flatpaks/snaps that make a program work even if it's not developed specifically for your distribution. Valve developed Proton for its console, and it "translates" almost all games to Linux, including some games with anti-cheat. I have a library of 500+ games and they are all compatible. You can install any program with a click of a button, it's just as easy as running an .exe file.
Also, if something does break, it is never impossible to fix it if you are willing to dig and tinker until you find it.
In Windows, there are things that can break that are not documented or accessible, so you literally can encounter things that cannot be fixed by the end user. That's where the common saying "nuke & pave" got applied to Windows troubleshooting, since you often have to nuke Windows and pave over it with a reinstall to fix a problem.
