Linux Mint reporting in. I've been running it on all my machines for... over 6 years now, not sure how much longer than 6 though. Did not look back, I can do everything I want without issue.
I, too, enjoy having an OS that doesn't fsck with me.
It's just so unbelievably nice when it doesn't ask you to use Microsoft edge, and it doesn't pop up web searches when you try to find an application, and it doesn't update without your permission or pop up a screen about how Windows counts are better than local accounts every two weeks.
They've just added up so many small annoyances that when I switch to Lennox it was a genuine breath of fresh air.
And by all means Linux kind of fucking sucks too, but it sucks because of its own technicality riddled advanced user problems. It's hard to update things, they want you to use cuz the command line for half of the stuff you want to do, and it's really easy to screw up your whole install and never be able to get back.
But it's worth it, the annoyances of linux are now worth it over the annoyances of windows and the annoyances of windows are intentional.
